HEAD COACH TODD BOWLES
(On what WR Mike Evans was able to do at Friday practice and what his status will be for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints)
"He will be out this week. He did a lot, as far as catching the ball and running routes. He looks good but [is] just getting back, so we'll give him a chance to get acclimated."
(On who will be out Week 14 against the Saints)
"[Mike Evans] will be out, 'J-Mac' (Jalen McMillan) will be out, [and Rashad] Wisdom will be out."
(On if he feels good about the progress WR Mike Evans, WR Jalen McMillan and S Rashad Wisdom have made while their 21-day practice windows are open)
"Yeah, I feel great about it. They look good."
(On T Tristan Wirfs' status for Sunday's contest after missing two days of practice)
"He'll be questionable."
(On what the gameplan is if T Tristan Wirfs is ruled out)
"We'll see if Tristan [Wirfs] plays or not, but I won't reveal that option at this time."
(On OLB Yaya Diaby closing in on double-digit sacks and what the pass rush can improve upon)
"[I] don't care where the sacks come from. I think he's been playing well for the past few weeks. We just [have] to just learn to coral the quarterback and them working together. They do fine individually, they just [have] to continue to work together. The big thing is the big plays have cut down, so that's a positive on it. We just have to make sure we keep the quarterback in the pocket and get him down."
(On if there is a chance CB J.T. Gray could be elevated off of the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Saints)
"There's a chance, but we [have] a lot of spots to fill, so we'll see once we count it out."
