Bland had previously been listed on the injury report due to a foot injury, but his new shoulder ailment kept him limited in all three practices this week.

He has struggled in coverage this year (59.8 PFF coverage grade) and could be in for a rough outing if matched up with rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.
