Exclusions
DL Zack Allen (hand), QB Colt McCoy (concussion), CB Byron Murphy (back)
Allen was out of the game early in this week. He underwent hand surgery last week.
McCoy was limited in practice on Friday but still has not cleared concussion protocol and the team ruled him out of the game on Sunday because he wasn’t going to get enough reps.
Murphy will miss his sixth consecutive game due to a back injury.
Questionable
OL Kelvin Beachum (ankle & knee), WR Marquise Brun (groin), OL Max Garcia (shoulder), OL Antonio Hamilton (back), OL Charles Washington (chest).
Beachum was limited in practice on Friday for the first time. According to Kliff Kingsbury, he is a game-day player. Every offensive starter who is absent from the game will be out. If he can’t play, Cody Ford will likely start.
Brown had to have his groin tightened Thursday. He was also limited for the last two day. Kingsbury seemed confident that he would play.
Garcia was limited throughout the week. Garcia could not start at left guard, but Rashaad Cohen was strong all week.
Hamilton was absent Wednesday and Thursday, but received limited work Friday. He was out Wednesday and Thursday but is still available for game-day decisions.
Washington was restricted all week.
No game designation
OL Rashaad Cohen (chest), WR Greg Dortch(knee), LB Markus Golden, CB Christian Matthews (shoulder), LB Zeke Turner and CB Marco Wilson (neck).
Coward participated in all activities throughout the week. Rest were limited for two days, and full participants on Friday. Wilson is back after missing the Broncos game.
