NBC Sports added that both Nacua and defensive back Trent McDuffie were marked ‘questionable,’ and that linebacker Nate Landman was ruled out for the week.

A later NBC Sports update listed Nacua as a game‑time decision and confirmed he will not play on Friday, while Landman remains ruled out and McDuffie stays ‘questionable.’ McDuffie’s status remains listed as questionable, leaving the secondary lineup in flux.
