Overview

  • Glenn said several starters will not play Friday against Philadelphia, and he declined to specify who will sit.
  • Reporters, including ESPN’s Rich Cimini, interpret the comments as a sign Justin Fields is unlikely to play, though the team has not confirmed his status.
  • The staff plans to give extended snaps to depth players as it evaluates the roster ahead of 53-man cutdowns.
  • Reporting expects absences for Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, with Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner still ramping up after recent calf issues and both participating in practice Tuesday.
  • Fields has had limited preseason action, going 4-for-9 for 46 yards with three rushes for 19 yards, and the finale is scheduled for Aug. 22 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
