Injuries
Left tackle Andrew Thomas was slow to get up during the final offensive series of the first half and walked into the locker room very gingerly at halftime. He returned to start the third quarter but his left ankle was heavily taped.
Late in the third quarter, center Jon Feliciano began limping. A few plays later, he left the field with a limp and immediately went into the medical tent. He did eventually return midway through the fourth quarter.
Midway through the fourth quarter, running back Saquon Barkley lowered his injured shoulder on a run and promptly left the game. He was shaking it on the sideline and appeared to be in significant pain, but returned after missing just one play.
Late in the fourth quarter, linebacker Oshane Ximines got banged up and was forced to leave the game.
