That's why we take everyone's readiness very seriously because we have to call on that again moving forward.

Everyone does.

And so it's important that you fortify your depths with capable people.

We've worked to do that during the course of our journey and to continue to get those guys ready because you know it's coming.

And so it's just good to see some of that happen.

We certainly will have some more challenges, man, as we lean in on this week regarding some of those things.

Isaac Silmalo got hurt last night.

I don't know what his status is as I stand here today, but I would imagine he's certainly going to be limited at the early portions of the week, and we'll see where it leads us.

The same thing could be said for Herbick with his hamstring.

We'll see where it leads us.

We had some guys that missed the previous game or games and are angling toward getting back.

Probably the most favorable of those is Derek Harmon.

He was probably healthy enough to play at the very end of last week.

But as a young guy with limited rep opportunities, I didn't think it would be fair to him or for us to put him in uniform.

And so he'll have an opportunity to get a complete week's work, get an opportunity to go back to his hometown and play some football, excited about getting him back.

He certainly has been an asset to us, particularly in terms of defending and stopping the run and

anticipating what we're going to face this week.

Man, that'll be big.

Some other guys who are working their way back.

Pete's still in the protocol, so we'll let the protocol be our guide in terms of his availability.
