AI-generated · who he is

He is on this week’s watch list, carried in from his last game week and named on the club report with a quadricep injury. He was carried into the week as questionable, and the club said he did not participate in practice Thursday or Friday with the quadricep; the final practice mark is DNP and the trend is flat. He sat last game, listed active but logging zero snaps in the 22-6 loss to Kansas City, and no official team reason was given.
