Thursday’s injury report brought a bit of a surprise with both QB Aidan O’Connell and top WR Jakobi Meyers missing practice. O’Connell was out with an illness while Meyers had an ankle injury.
Their sudden absences left things up in the air as to their availability for the team’s game in Tampa on Sunday. Friday morning, head coach Antonio Pierce updated the status of the two players. And it was good news.
Aidan O’Connell injury update
“He’s out here ready to go,” Pierce said of O’Connell. “He’s full go. He’ll be fine.”
Quarterback depth chart
If for whatever reason O’Connell were not able to go, the next man up is Desmond Ridder.
Jakobi Meyers injury update
For Meyers, it was a similar answer from Pierce “Full go. He’ll go today.”
Wide receiver depth chart
Should Meyers be unable to go, it would fall to undrafted rookie Ramel Keyton to step up. Former second round pick Terrace Marshall is another option.
