No. 5 out; No. 95 questionable
Quarterback Trent Edwards officially is out for Sunday's game, and defensive tackle Kyle Williams is questionable after participating in part of practice on Friday.
Edwards was not at practice Friday. Said coach Dick Jauron: "As far as I know, and I haven’t seen him but I have finally texted him – they allowed me to text him – he says he’s doing better, and (trainer) Bud (Carpenter) says he’s doing better also."
Said Carpenter: "He’s progressing like you’re supposed to progress after what he’s had. No setbacks - put it that way."
So Ryan Fitzpatrick will start at QB and Gibran Hamdan will be the No. 2 QB.
Safety Donte Whitner (ankle), safety Bryan Scott (ankle) and tackle Jonathan Scott (ankle) also all are out for the game. Tight end Shawn Nelson (illness) is doubtful.
Defensive end Chris Kelsay (eye) was limited and is probable. Cornerback Terrance McGee (knee) practiced fully and is probable.
Receiver Terrell Owens watched practice from the side but did not participate. Regarding Owens, Jauron would say only: "Terrell was just – it was a non-injury. It was not injury related."
Running back Xavier Omon, who was sick Thursday, practiced fully.
