And Jernigan has a meniscus injury that has limited his activity severely. He's expected to miss at least a month, according to a source.

Meanwhile, middle linebacker Daryl Smith downplayed the severity of a knee injury and predicted he'll play Sunday.

"Just a little knee," Smith said. "They gave me a little time to rest."

Wide receiver Marlon Brown (pelvis), safety Matt Elam (right shoulder countusion), guard Kelechi Osemele (bruised, hyperextended right knee) and center Jeremy Zuttah (ankle) didn't practice.
