As we saw on the Friday injury report both DT Marcell Dareus and CB Stephon Gilmore are both doubtful for Sunday’s game at New England. If neither of them can go here are the likely replacements for them in the lineup.

DL Jarius Wynn, who missed a stretch of games in the second half with a knee injury got an awful lot of time alongside Kyle Williams in practice this week. He could get the starting nod over Corbin Bryant, who was the first to step on the field last week when Dareus went down with his knee injury in Oakland. Bryant is still expected to see a good deal of action as a rotational player.

Meanwhile at cornerback, it’s expected that Ron Brooks will again step in for Gilmore as he did last week with Nickell Robey remaining the nickel corner and Corey Graham on the other side.

Player	Pos	Injury	Game Status
Marcell Dareus	DT	Knee	DOUBTFUL
Stephon Gilmore	CB	Concussion	DOUBTFUL
Dan Carpenter	K	Right Groin	PROBABLE
Aaron Williams	S	Hip	PROBABLE
