James Conner was removed from the Covid Reserve List today and will play this week against the Buffalo Bills. Hopefully his return can help the running game that has gone stagnant in his absence.
Robert Spillane (knee) and Joe Haden (concussion) were both injured in the game against the Washington Football Team. Spillane probably won’t play this week, but Haden has a chance of clearing concussion protocol.
Chris Boswell had a hip injury that kept him out of the last game. He did not practice today, but hopefully he can return for this game, because his presence was sorely missed.
Steven Nelson practiced fully today after missing the last game, which is a good sign for him returning this week.
Chris Wormley missed practice today with an illness. Hopefully it is not Covid-19 related.
Maurkice Pouncey is the only player left on the Covid Reserve List. He can return as early as Friday if he is symptom free.
Ulysees Gilbert also practiced today. He is still on Injured Reserve and has until 12/30 to be rostered or lost for the season on IR.
Everyone else listed as Not Injury Related, did not practice today.
