The Debrief: Concern for Dre but optimism for A.J. Green 1) Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick may miss Sunday’s game against Atlanta. According to the team’s injury report Cheap Renell Wren Jersey , Kirkpatrick missed Thursday’s practice with a back/groin. He was limited on Wednesday with a groin, so the “back” inclusion is new. The Cincinnati Enquirer writes that he’ll be out — they reference historical instances when players didn’t practice on Thursday, not any official pronouncement. 2) A.J. Green appears to be playing Sunday. On the other hand, Green, who was limited on Wednesday with a pelvis injury, was a full participant Thursday. Obviously, this increases the likelihood that he’ll play on Sunday — a welcome update. 3) Joe Mixon is getting closer. Running back Joe Mixon told reporters that his knee feels great and that he could play Sunday if medically cleared. Don’t expect it. Mixon spent practice on the rehab field Thursday, same as Wednesday. Running back Giovani Bernard figures to start and Thomas Rawls, signed last week, could make his debut as the team’s primary backup (though I’d like to see more out of Mark Walton, but I’m not a coach). 4) Center Billy Price shooting for Steelers week. Alternatively Renell Wren Jersey Womens , center Billy Price is shooting for a Week 6 return — we’re not sure if that being Steelers week factored into his target date, but we’ll pretend it did, so “whodey!” He’ll reportedly be re-evaluated on Tuesday.
