Everyone else on the report is clear. Anthony Nelson (shin) missed Wednesday, went limited Thursday and practiced in full Friday, and A'Shawn Robinson's Friday practice was full after a limited Thursday. Robinson's entry is listed as rest, not injury.
Baker Mayfield practiced in full all week with an illness, which BucsWorld covered in Mayfield's illness update. Jalen McMillan (knee) and Jacob Parrish (back) also took every rep in all three practices and carry no designation. BucsWorld tracked the start of Parrish's back injury in Jacob Parrish has a back sprain.
