“It’s just the plan we have,” Turner said. “He worked pretty hard to the side. He just didn’t practice. We’ll get him out there as soon as we can.”
Analysis: Mathews took mental reps, sitting out the stretching and individual drills portions of practice that he had participated in the week before. The running back has to be considered questionable at best for this Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Owners would be wise to begin preparing to have contingency plan in place if/when Mathews sits.
