Injury: Knee (MCL)

Status: Questionable

Blaske is dealing with an MCL strain he suffered in fall camp. He has yet to play a snap this season.

Injury: Back

Status: Doubtful

McConkey is dealing with a back injury that has bothered him dating to last season. The leading returning wide receiver has yet to take a snap this season.
