- After practicing in a limited capacity on Wednesday, WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling was held out of practice on Thursday. Expect a questionable game status for MVS on Friday if he manages to get back to practice.
- Harrison Butker was held out of practice on Thursday, but Dave Toub says he was given a rest day after his practice participation on Tuesday. He remains optimistic that Butker will be able to play Sunday night.
- Ronald Jones missed his second consecutive practice due to illness. It’s unclear if this is a COVID-19 positive case or whether he’s just dealing with another illness, but his chances aren’t looking good for Week 4.
- Mike Danna practiced for the first time since suffering his calf injury in Week 2. We’ll see if he’s able to continue practicing on Friday.
- Mecole Hardman continues to track like he did last week, where he didn’t participate on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and was a full participant on Friday. Expect him to play in Week 4.
