Overview

  • Both guards were hurt in Sunday’s 14-9 win over the Texans, and Avila returned to finish the game after Dotson left.
  • Neither player has been ruled out for Week 2 in Tennessee, with the team expecting clearer practice guidance by Wednesday.
  • McVay described the injuries as ankle sprains, with local reports specifying lateral sprains for both linemen.
  • Interior depth currently leans on Beaux Limmer and Justin Dedich, and the staff may elevate practice-squad linemen or explore a signing if needed.
  • Tight end Colby Parkinson sustained an AC joint sprain and is uncertain for Week 2, while Puka Nacua received stitches for a facial cut and played through the injury.
