Rivera has said this is different than the groin injury.

Kyle Shurmur:
Turner said Kyle Shurmur has done a nice job of preparing and been around the game his whole life as coach Pat Shurmur's son. Turner has a good feel for what he's capable of so if he needs to go on Sunday, he can put Shurmur in a position to be successful

Postpone the game?:
OC Scott Turner on whether he would like for Sunday's game to be postponed: "I don't even think about that kind of stuff. That's up to the league."

— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) December 16, 2021
"He would be a boost. ... How many plays would he end up playing if he gets cleared and can play? I'm not sure."
Jeremy Reaves:

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) December 16, 2021
Big COVID-19 list is new territory for his coaching career:
Jack Del Rio, when asked if there's any situation from the past that was remotely comparable: "You can't draw from a lesson in the past from anything close to this; Nothing resembling this. I like to approach it that we're gonna prepare and we love to compete."
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 16, 2021
Shaka Toney:
Del Rio said Shaka Toney was a player that stood out in the draft process that he thought could develop. He's improved throughout the year, and Del Rio is looking forward to seeing him grow

Jeremy Reaves
Perseverance:
Jeremy Reaves thought he "broke that barrier" that was holding him back from being a regular player after what he did in 2020 but got released on cut-down day in 2021. Still he re-signed to the p-squad to "stay the course" and not quit, which is something his mom instilled in him
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) December 16, 2021
"U have high expectations of yourself and u go out there and compete every day... then you fall short. Sometimes that's just life. My mother is very big on you don't quit something; when you start, you finish it. I have a purpose here. I'll stay the course no matter what." (2)

Jamin Davis
COVID-19 outbreak:
Jamin Davis: "Of course you want it to stop... It's just a real adverse situation; you can't dwell on it... It's just a next man up mentality."
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 16, 2021
Or, in this case, next roster up.
