There are a few names to watch here. Fitzgerald was limited once again, but don’t get too excited until the inactives come out on Sunday. Veterans don’t need a lot of practice time and we know that Fitz is a gamer. Evan Mathis returned to practice, but Tyrann Matheiu was on the report for the first time. He will be a big loss in the secondary if he can’t play.
