Jaycee Horn not being able to play Sunday

"Continued good progress, but not quite enough. So, we'll continue to take that day by day, week by week."

Laviska Shenault's role

"We'll see how he continues to progress through the week, but if he's ready to go, he's a versatile piece. If he's up for the game, we'll look to try to use him in different ways, gradually work him back in there."

If Marquis Haynes Sr. came back too soon

"I think he's still on the trend up from the injury that he had and the treatment that he had. Pretty much what we were told was he's good to go with the treatments that he had. The feeling is he's going to feel better and better. Had a little aggravation, I don't think that was any huge deal but again, we're erring on the side of caution there because we want him for the long run. Could we have pushed him to play this week? Probably so because he was getting close. But we're trying to do right by our players and plus we have other guys we can give opportunities to."
