During the post-game interview, Mike Vrabel discussed their loss against the Steelers and how they’ll improve their game. The team is looking to work on their flaws and become a better team after the loss. Amid these conversations, the head coach was asked about the health of their wide receiver.
Vrabel responded, “Oh, he’s alert and moving.” He stated that he’d have a better update the next day after the complete evaluation of the injury was done. However, Vrabel stated that the most important thing right now was that he was quite “alert.” Also, he looks to be able to continue training, if not directly participate in the game, as of now.
