    Sounds as though both Samuels and Trey will be questionable with injuries sustained Sunday. Practice participation will be the guide yada yada.

    Hopeful that both Hilton and Wormly could be back this week however he said the same thing last week about Hilton. Need to see these guys practicing in full to believe it.

    Vance Dotson and Macfarland no update at all in regards to Covid status. Hope those guys are doing OK. Scary stuff when you separate the human and football elements.

    Did Dotson or MacFarland ever actually test positive for COVID?

    Hasn't been published either way. McFarland was out sick late last week, but it's never been publicly stated that it was Covid. Think it was more of a precautionary measure.

    haven’t seen a report that he tested positive. Just that he was placed on the list on Saturday. Hopefully just a precautionary measure

    Not a bad injury report. Hopefully Hilton can be a full participant tomorrow too. Dotson is not listed, so I guess he's still on the Covid list?

    Good news on Hilton Buggs and Macfarland as it looks as though all 3 could be back this weekend. Also looks like Macfarland escaped a positive Covid designation.

    No word on Macdonald or Dotson so I think it’s safe to say Dotson ended up being positive even though I’m not sure it was ever officially reported. No idea on when these guys might be eligible again.

    Also didn’t see any update on Wormly even though TOMLIN said he could be back this weekend. It might have something to do with his IR status.

    I think that is the case. Only active players would show up on the injury report. That's why you don't see Dotson or McDonald, who are both on the COVID-19 Reserve list.

    I would love to see them get Hilton and Buggs back this week. That way they can kick some rust off before facing the Ravens next week. They really need both on the field for that game, Buggs for depth up front and Hilton to add a sure tackler in the secondary.

    Wormley was back at practice today. Surprising he didn't receive any designation.

    Getting Hilton back, in particular, would be fantastic. Hopefully, we're able to escape any more big-time injuries for a while.

    Good News on Hilton Macfarland and Buggs. Looks like all 3 will be back! Will be nice to see Hilton again for sure.

    Elliot now has an illness and have to figure he is kept away and out Sunday.

    Still haven’t heard anything on Macdonald or Dotson so I assume both are also out with Covid.

    Will be interesting to see if Wormly is activated tomorrow.

    It was never reported if Dotson tested positive or if he's just on the contract testing protocol. If the later he can still be activated before the game.

    He was listed as DNP due to illness last week before being placed on the list, so it isn't just due to contact tracing protocols.

    Hilton will be back Sunday!

    Only Samuels Trey and Elliot are out Friday so for this time of the year we are near 100%

    Of course Macdonald and Dotson still appear to be out with Covid.

    Have not seen anything on Wormly being activated.

    I guess there's no need to rush Wormley back, with Buggs good to go.

    I haven’t seen or heard anything in regards to Vance or Dotson. I hope they are both OK. Would be nice to get some type of update but I assume it’s privacy related.

    Wormley and Davis get the hats today and Buggs is inactive. Bit if a surprise.

    Nice to have Wormly back. People have been saying Davis has played well so it’s not a shocker I guess.

    Only missing Macdonald and Dotson now
