The status of cornerback Nick Marshall (ankle), placekicker Brett Lauther (groin) and returner Christion Jones (undisclosed) is to be determined. Dickenson said the team would hold off as long as possible for all three players before making a decision.

“We’re going to wait and see on Brett,” Dickenson said. “We’re going to give him the whole week off and see how he felt. Christion was here at the start (of Thursday’s practice) and then he went in to get some treatment. We’ve been taking it easy with Christion Jones and Nick Marshall and really making it more of a mental week. We think they’re going to be fine.”
