![]() ![]() He’s missed a PAT in each of the last two games and also had one blocked in Pittsburgh. Special Teams Coordinator Rich Bisaccia went first and was asked about the point after touchdown adventures of rookie kicker Anders Carlson. Savage along with Keisean Nixon and Devonte Wyatt were the trio of full participants. The rest of the limited players among the 15 on the injury report were De’Vondre Campbell, Kenny Clark, Josiah Deguara, Rashan Gary and Dontayvion Wicks. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Owens out there against the Chiefs with Ford and Savage slowly building up snap counts. Ford’s replacement, Jonathan Owens has been solid, even spectacular with his 27 yard fumble return touchdown against Detroit to go along with his team high 12 tackles. The safety position is a bit more unclear. If Alexander’s ready, he’d team with Carrington Valentinue, sending Corey Ballentine back to special teams duty. Both Head Coach Matt LaFleur and Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry weren’t about to disclose how the secondary will line up against Patrick Mahomes Sunday night.

The only other players who didn’t participate today were wide receiver Jayden Reed with a chest injury and defensive back Robert Rochelle who’s calf injury downgraded him from limited to out. While finishing up our chat, Dillon said the worst part of his day was coming while he slowly pulled off a chunk of heavy duty compression tape from you know where. While the groin isn’t 100%, Dillon believes he’ll be able to go. He hasn’t missed a game and doesn’t plan to start Sunday night. ![]() He said yesterday was the first practice he’s missed in three years. He took part in drills and I caught up with him briefly in the locker room after practice. The team is being careful with Dillon’s groin injury, still listing him as limited, but a step up. Dillon was back at it after sitting out Wednesday. Much to the relief of backfield coach Ben Sirmans, A.J. ![]()
