--Defensive tackle Martin Parker has a herniated disc in his back, which will require surgery and he will miss his second straight season.

--Defensive end Justin Trattou, who has been sidelined with a sprained ankle, has been experiencing issues with his heel and is not expected back on the field for several weeks, according to the team.

--Defensive tackle Marvin Austin was being examined Tuesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery for a back issue. Austin missed last year, his rookie season, with a torn pectoral muscle.
