The team announced that Reed Blankenship (ribs), Kenneth Gainwell (ribs), and James Bradberry (concussion) are all of missing the contest on three days rest after playing late Sunday afternoon.

Rashaad Penny (RB), Josh Jobe (CB), and Terrell Edmunds (S) will all be in line for an increased role against Minnesota.
Reed Blankenship
Blankenship had 12 tackles and one pass defended in the opener.
Kenneth Gainwell
Gainwell had 14 carries for 54 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and four catches for 20 yards. Eight of his 18 touches came on the first drive of the game.
James Bradberry
After exiting Sunday’s win over New England with a head injury, All-Pro cornerback James Bradberry has been placed in the concussion protocol.
To return to game action, Bradberry must undergo an exam by a team doctor or an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant or athletic trainer to gain clearance.
If Bradberry doesn’t play, second-year cornerback Josh Jobe will get the start, with Kelee Ringo as another critical reserve.
