The decision to not use Burton on Sunday is expected to be addressed after the game.
Wide receiver Higgins and offensive lineman Brown — who is dealing with a knee and fibula injury — were listed as doubtful and are also joined by two other injured players on the inactive list: Zack Moss and Charlie Jones. Running back Moss was downgraded from doubtful to out Sunday morning because of a neck issue, and kick returner/receiver Jones had a groin injury pop up on Thursday.
Tight end Tanner McLachlan and defensive tackle Jay Tufele, both healthy, also are inactive. Two players who were elevated from the practice squad Saturday, wide receiver Kendric Pryor and offensive tackle Devin Cochran, are active to help with depth with Higgins and Brown out. The team also signed halfback Kendall Milton to the active roster from the practice squad on Saturday with Moss injured.
