But, we’ll learn more once formal warmups begin in about 20 minutes. We’ll be watching closely to see what receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith is doing after he missed most of the win two weeks ago due to injury. He did practice on Wednesday. On Tuesday, James Franklin had said he was “hopeful” that the team’s fourth-leading receiver would be available. Tight end Tyler Warren is another player we’ll be watching for. He has been dealing with bumps and bruises, as well.
