- Rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane (shoulder) was ruled out after limited participation in practice all week. He has been dealing on and off with the same shoulder injury since training camp and missed last week’s game against the Denver Broncos.
“Both those two… are making progress, and that’s a positive thing, but they’re going to be out this game,” Reid said during his Friday press conference.
“It’s just a matter of getting back and making sure they’re strong; both of them, it’s a strength thing right now,” Reid said before alluding to the fact that both could be fine over the next week or so.
