Rookie running back Sione Vaki was also listed as doubtful.have already ruled Malcolm Rodriguez and Josh Paschal out, along with defensive lineman Brodric Martin being ruled out in the first week of his return-to-practice window after being on injured reserve.
"We knew when we drafted that player who he was. Undersized, penetrating three-technique, and we knew exactly what we were going to try to do with him," said defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. "The thing that happened with him once we started having these injuries, we have to move him around in different spots.
"We knew he was a good player, we knew that he was strong, but to see him be able to hold up at the point of attack was good to see so we can put him in those spots," Glenn explained.
