Jaylen Wright is considered week-to-week with an undisclosed injury and will continue to be evaluated by the team. Wright limped off during joint practice with the Jaguars and was taken to the medical facility for further evaluation. Rookie Ollie Gordon II is making a push for the No. 2 running back role after starting and gaining 43 yards on eight carries in the preseason finale. Kicker Jason Sanders did not attempt kicks in the preseason finale but is not expected to miss the opener. De'Von Achane has had no setbacks and is expected to be ready for Sept. 7. Jordyn Brooks had a minor issue and was held out of playing.
"He doesn't appear concerned for Week 1," McDaniel said. "He was telling me that he was going to kick extra points, and I was like, 'We need the 2-point conversion work.' "We'll see when he comes in, but he wasn't overly concerned for Week 1."
"He was mad at me," McDaniel said, "but all the guys that were kind of working through anything minor from an injury standpoint - he had something minor that I didn't think was worth him playing. "If it was a regular season game, there was no way he would've let me pull that off. I was proud of him"
