Head Coach Brian Flores

(We’ve seen on the injury report the last couple days that QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was on it with his forearm and his shoulder. Is there any question in your mind about him playing Sunday?) – “No, he’ll be out there. I think he’ll be out there. He’s practiced this week and he’s gotten better each day, like all the guys who are on that list. Each guy’s kind of gotten a little bit better each day; but yeah, I expect him to be out there.”

(You have a bunch of young corners, obviously. Most of them are undrafted. A lot of them said they have chips on their shoulders to prove to the world they can play. What do you like about this group of six or seven guys? Is there a fearlessness you’ve seen with them when going up against big-name receivers? What’s impressed you about that group?) – “What impresses me the most is that they work hard. They come in here on a daily basis, try and improve (and) get better. I think everyone in this league is motivated to play well and to do that for their team, their teammates, their coaches, their families, themselves; there’s a lot of reasons why they want to play well. That’s what I like about this team – this team and those players you mentioned. I think they’re competitors, and I think we’ve got a team full of competitors. They want to go out there and try to win.”

(LB Raekwon McMillan – we saw him upgraded to full participation this week. How’s he doing? Will he be ready to go for Sunday?) – “Yeah. I think he’s had a good week at practice. I anticipate Raekwon playing. He’s had a good week of practice. Obviously he was dealing with something last week, but I expect him to be out there.”

(DE Taco Charlton as well – the elbow – he’s been limited with it. Would it be a rush to kind of get him back?) – “Taco’s – I would say Raekwon (McMillan) and Taco are a little bit different. That one’s a little bit – not tricky – but it’s a little bit more serious, but he’s worked to get back. (Charlton) practiced this week and we’ll see. That’ll be closer than Raekwon.”

(Would it be too optimistic for CB Ken Webster to play this week?) – “He’s definitely been out there and he’s working well. I think we may have a chance there, so we’ll see how it goes. We’ve still got another couple days. How he responds to today’s practice – obviously three days in a row – we’ll see if he responds well and if he does, he’s got a chance.”

(Anything you’ve seen from RB De’Lance Turner to put him in the equation to possibly play or at this point – obviously RB Kalen Ballage, RB Patrick Laird and RB Myles Gaskin are ahead?) – “Yeah, De’Lance Turner, he’s done a real good job in the kicking game. He’s actually showed up in a good way on our show teams running the football, catching the football out of the backfield. I think this is a good, young, physical, fast, good, young player. Again, like I say to all the players on this team, your role on this team is what you make it, and I think he’s working towards carving out a role for himself, specifically in the kicking game but trying to do so offensively as well.”
