Prior to practice, Mike McDaniel provided updates on the following players:
Phillips and Williams: “It is day to day. They won’t practice today. And we’ll, we’ll press forward, and as we get information back, we’ll apply that information moving forward, but they will not practice today.”
Waddle: “He will practice today. He’ll have a full practice, which will upon the results of that, will officially or unofficially clear the protocol.’

Ahmed: “He’s progressing. We’ll give him, you know, some stuff to do today and make sure that we don’t overload him and then kind of assess how that goes from there. But he was playing at a high level before got hurt, so it will see him to get going. I know he’s hungry.”
Cracraft: “We are taking a little time to kind of assess [whether he will go on IR]. That’s definitely not a certainty, but it’s definitely out of the question either. We’re just assessing and seeing how his body responds day in and day out. But I can promise you this whatever it takes to be back as fast as possible. I promise you that.”
