Injury report observations:

  • Starting defensive tackle Fletcher Cox was spotted at practice on Wednesday after missing last week with a back injury.
  • Evans practiced through a neck injury last week, so this knee injury is something to keep an eye on.
  • Starting linebacker Nakobe Dean returned to practice on Wednesday and told reporters he is feeling "close to 100 percent" with his foot injury. 
  • Dean was seen running through drills alongside Zach Cunningham, per NBC Sports' Dave Zangaro.
