Ruled out

RB James Conner (ribs), OL Max Garcia (shoulder), LB Dennis Gardeck (ankle), OL Rodney Hudson (knee), CB Christian Matthew (hamstring)

Conner had been limited for two days but downgraded to not practicing on Friday. He will miss his third consecutive game, meaning Eno Benjamin will get another start.

None of the others practiced at all this week. It is Hudson’s fourth consecutive game missed. Gardeck is out for a second straight game.

Questionable

OL D.J. Humphries (back), CB Byron Murphy (back), K Matt Prater (hip), RB Darrel Williams (knee)

Humphries was limited Friday after sitting out two days. If he can’t play, Josh Jones would get the start at left tackle. Murphy appeared on the injury report Friday and was limited. However, he has had that happen with a different injury each of the last two weeks and still played.

Prater could kick but won’t handle kickoffs if he is active.

Williams has a chance to play after missing two games.

No game designation

OL Cody Ford (ankle), CB Trayvon Mullen (hamstring), S Jalen Thompson (calf)

Ford, who came off injured reserve last week after missing time with an ankle injury, was limited Wednesday and Thursday but was a full participant on Friday. He will start at left guard.

Mullen practiced fully all week and Thompson progressed each day.
