Overview

  • Baun was not listed on the NFL’s Week 8 fines release on Saturday, confirming no league discipline for the play.

  • Skattebo has left the hospital following surgery and has started rehabilitation, according to team statements reported Sunday.
  • Reports detail a dislocated right ankle with additional injuries including a tibia fracture and a ruptured deltoid ligament.
