Injury report

Tight end Darren Waller (knee) and running back Josh Jacobs (ribs) were listed as questionable on the final injury report, along with defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins (back).

Those were anticipated. Waller and Jacobs were limited in practice all week. Hankins missed two walk-throughs before practicing on a limited basis Friday.

Cornerback Casey Hayward’s questionable tag was more surprising. He wasn’t listed on the report Wednesday or Thursday but popped up with an ankle injury Friday and is questionable.

Bisaccia did not address Hayward’s injury, which wasn’t revealed until after he spoke.

He expressed optimism about Waller playing for the first time since Thanksgiving, though perhaps not for a full complement of snaps after his reps were closely monitored all week.

“We’re really just waiting for each morning to show up to see what his soreness level is and how he feels that he could possibly get through it,” Bisaccia said. “If he does go and play for us, we’re certainly going to be cognizant of where his cardio is and take as much information from him, not only in the game, but we have from practice as well to the reps that he gets.”

Jacobs’ status will be more determined by pain tolerance.

“That’s kind of what it’s been for him actually for a few weeks,” Bisaccia said.

“So it’s an interior issue on his body, and he’s done a good job of dealing with it. He’s done a good job of working on treatment in the training room, and we have full expectation that he’ll be ready to go. We’ll certainly be smart with his reps as well.”
