Notably, Receiver Calvin Ridley returned to practice after missing sessions on Wednesday and Thursday due to knee and elbow injuries. He is currently listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. Running Back Tyjae Spears also practiced for the third consecutive day and is expected to be available for the game after being added to the Designated to Return to Practice list. Coach Brian Callahan expressed enthusiasm about Spears’ return, emphasizing the significance of his participation in a team struggling on offense.

Four players have been ruled out for Sunday’s game: Right Tackle JC Latham (hip), Offensive Lineman Blake Hance (shoulder), Receiver Bryce Oliver (knee), and Safety Mike Brown (knee). Additionally, Defensive Lineman James Lynch practiced on a limited basis and is listed as questionable.
