When asked about the health of his wide receiver corps on Thursday, head coach Matt LaFleur said he's taking it slowly with his top three guys, and if one, two, or all three can't suit up on Sunday to take on the , then the next man up is going to have to be ready."It's a case by case basis," LaFleur told reporters. "Even with Davante, you want him out there for practice if he's going to play in the game just to make sure that he's confident in what he's doing, but it is what it is.
