“Just managing," stated McVay. "We've just been managing him. He's had some soreness as you accumulate the normal season’s workload and he's played a bunch of snaps. We’re just managing him with the typical bumps and bruises that guys go through and being a little bit smarter with him than anything else.”

Limited

Poona Ford (Calf). Ford will be questionable entering the game.

Full

Tutu Atwell (Hamstring), Omar Speights (Ankle), Kyren Williams (Ankle), Kamren Kinchens (Shoulder), and Davante Adams (Hamstring) were full participants.

Atwell will not be activated off injured reserve this week.

McVay on Friday

“As far as injuries are concerned, [Outside Linebacker] Byron Young will be a DNP, but that's on par for how we've done it," stated McVay. "He should be good for the game. [Wide Receiver] Davante [Adams] will be full. [Cornerback] Darious Williams will be a DNP."

"He's going to be doubtful for the game. That lower half is just not turning over. I think it's going to be the smart thing for him that most likely he won't make it on Sunday. Then we'll revisit and see how he is next week, but he'll be doubtful. [Nose Tackle] Poona [Ford] will be limited. He'll be listed as questionable, but we expect him to be ready to go.”
