HEAD COACH ANDY REID
OPENING STATEMENT: “Alright, Mike Danna and JuJu (Smith-Schuster) will be out. (We) look forward to the challenge of playing the Raiders. We know they’re a good football team (and) we know they’re well coached. I think our guys have had a good week of practice and respect them, so we’ll get on that plane tomorrow and go roll. With that, (the) time’s yours.”
Q: Do you anticipate playing DeAndre Hopkins on Sunday?
REID: “Probably, yeah. Yeah.”
Q: I know DeAndre Hopkins only practiced for a couple of days but how does he look to you?
REID: “He (DeAndre Hopkins) did a good job. He’s in the process of going through everything so every thing he does is the first time, but he’s got the experience with relative plays. He’s picked it up – he’s a smart guy, which really helps.”
Q: Tomorrow is a big day for DeAndre Hopkins to keep studying the playbook. How do you gauge that on a day that you guys are traveling?
REID: “He’s (DeAndre Hopkins) diligent with all that stuff. I mean, he knows what he has to do and that he has to be in the (play)book, looking at stuff and he asks great questions. I haven’t been worried about that at all. He’s very astute.”
Q: Do you plan on elevating anybody from the practice squad?
