- On one side, Braelon Allen is taking the majority of practice reps with Breece Hall sidelined by a quadricep injury.
- On the other, Minkah Fitzpatrick is moving closer to a return after being limited earlier in the week and then upgraded to full participation on Thursday.
- Allen has been taking the majority of reps in practice ahead of Sunday’s game at Chicago, and the team’s backfield plan now runs through him while Hall remains out.
- By Thursday, he had been upgraded to full participation, a strong sign that he is expected to be ready to face the Bears on Sunday.
- Enagbare’s status shifted from limited on Wednesday to out on Thursday because of a knee injury, and that late change keeps the overall availability picture unsettled.
