Dugger (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Las Vegas. Dugger was limited at practice Thursday and Friday after apparently sustaining a foot injury at practice during the week, so it seems like there's a 50-50 chance he'll play in Week 6.

Dugger recorded 15 tackles (12 solo), one tackle for loss and one hit on the quarterback during Sunday's 38-3 loss to Dallas.
