Both left tackle Christian Darrisaw and right tackle Brian O’Neill did practice Monday.
O’Neill was inactive Thursday night after having played a full game against the Eagles in his return from a right MCL sprain suffered in Week 6.
O’Connell said postgame that O’Neill had some swelling in his left knee, potentially due to overcompensating for his right knee injury.
O’Neill declined to comment on that but said he’s feeling “pretty good.”
“Back to the training room and see where it takes us,” he added.
Darrisaw played nine snaps against the Chargers before leaving the game. He said Monday that his “body didn’t respond how [he] wanted it to” in-game and he didn’t want to set back his recovery, which he noted has been ahead of schedule. He was originally given a 12-month timeline to return to game action after suffering a season-ending injury in Week 8 last year. He returned in Week 3 this season.
Darrisaw went through an on-field workout monitored by a few staff members before the game Thursday. He said he wanted to move around after the team didn’t practice all week.
O’Connell said Friday that the team not playing another non-Sunday game until Week 17 should help set a consistent rhythm for Darrisaw’s between-game recovery and turnover.
“It’s gonna be really helpful,” Darrisaw affirmed with a smile. “Just having our normal routine. No short weeks. We get all the time that we need to recover.”
Tight end Josh Oliver (foot) and cornerback Jeff Okudah (concussion), who both also made early exits against the Chargers, were not seen Monday.
