• Chris Boswell slipped on a divot during a late 54-yard attempt and fell on his plant leg, but he avoided a serious injury.
• All-Pro special teamer Miles Killebrew sustained a right knee injury described as serious and potentially season-ending, with his status still developing.
• ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reported re-sodding was already underway Sunday evening, following broadcast notes that the grounds crew planned immediate replacement.
• Aaron Rodgers compared the surface to early-season Lambeau issues, urged use of seven-stud cleats, and coverage linked wear to shared use with Pitt as the team heads to Cincinnati on Thursday before returning home Oct. 26.
