Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu (ankle), tight end Feleipe Franks (concussion), outside linebacker DJ Johnson (ankle), safety Jammie Robinson (knee), and tight end Tommy Tremble (back) missed practice due to injuries.

However, running back Jonathon Brooks (knee), defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy (ankle), safety Jordan Fuller (hamstring), tackle Yosh Nijman (knee), and outside linebacker D.J.
