Other than Darnold's status, perhaps the biggest injury concern centered on rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton, who left the Patriots game early on and did not return. He sustained a chest injury, but is expected to play against the Chargers.
"They [trainers and doctors] went through everything while the game was going on, did all kinds of tests, but for whatever reason he couldn't get back out there," Gase said. "He wasn't feeling comfortable. The next day he was double- and triple-checked. It all seems to be OK. He was struggling in that game. I don't have a great explanation for it. I'm just glad he's alright."
In other injury news: Gase said that K Sam Ficken (groin) is likely to be available on Sunday; DL Quinnen Willams (hamstring) will be limited in practice this week; LB Blake Cashman (hamstrings) is unlikely to play on Sunday; DL Harry Anderson (knee/ankle) could miss practice time; and the status of CB Brian Poole (shoulder/knee) depends on how he progresses this week.
