Injury concerns impact several key players. Offensive lineman Donovan Jackson is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season due to a meniscus tear and cartilage damage. Christian Darrisaw has entered concussion protocol, while wide receiver Justin Jefferson is working toward a return. While quarterback Kyler Murray has shown efficiency in late-game situations, the team continues to struggle with discipline.
