TE Gerald Everett’s status uncertain
Carroll says he’s not sure if tight end Gerald Everett (COVID-19 list) or wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) can return this week. Also, Darrell Taylor, Cody Barton and Penny Hart all suffered minor injuries.
Also said Darrell Taylor tweaked his ankle, and that Cody Barton and Penny Hart came out of the game a little banged up. Still not sure if Gerald Everett (COVID-19 list) or Dee Eskridge (concussion) will be back this week.
