Lake's Elbow Injury Sidelines Him for Sunday's Game

Lake will not participate in Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a lingering left elbow injury. The player was designated for return from injured reserve on Thursday and was able to fully practice on consecutive days leading up to the game.

Despite successfully completing two full practices, Lake's elbow injury, which has kept him sidelined since mid-November, is still preventing him from being game-ready for the upcoming contest. His return to practice, however, suggests a positive outlook for his recovery.

Given his ability to engage in full practice sessions, Lake is considered highly likely to be activated from the injured reserve list. This activation is expected to occur before the wild-card round of the playoffs, signaling his potential return to the field for postseason action.
