Though we thought we got some good news when Timmy Jernigan returned to practice yesterday (and sounded quite optimistic about Sunday after practice), today’s official injury report paints a bleaker picture, as the second-year defensive lineman is officially listed as “doubtful.” Adding injury to injury, Rashaan Melvin joins Jernigan as guys likely to be on the shelf, and the prospect of stopping Peyton Manning gets more daunting all the time.
Officially OUT are Breshad Perriman and Lorenzo Taliaferro – no surprises there.
