Sits out practice Bates (neck) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports. Impact Bates has yet to miss a game since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2018. However, he has missed two straight practices, which doesn't bode well for that streak. Bates is a high-end option when he's on the field, as he's accrued 22 tackles (16 solo) so far. Brandon Wilson would likely start at free safety Thursday against the Jaguars if Bates can't go.
