With a report on Thursday morning that Benny Snell Jr. had a surgical procedure on his knee, he was unable to practice and is expected to miss a few games. Jaylen Samuels continues to to be a full participant in practice and is expected to play Sunday. As for James Conner, he was unfortunately not one of the players who returned on Thursday. Although it would have been nice to see him in at least a limited role, Friday will be a true test on if Conner is able to take the field Sunday.
