Wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. was seen limping on the sideline and later left practice, while right tackle Abraham Lucas also exited with what coach Mike Macdonald characterized as a heat-related issue. In addition, wide receiver Tory Horton, who is returning from leg-surgery, missed the final week of practice with an undisclosed injury.

Roster decisions for the final 53-man roster will hinge on the progress of these injured players.
