Rupcich (triceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports. Rupcich suffered a torn triceps in Week 8 against the Lions, and he's expected to miss the rest of the 2024 season, so his absence in Week 9 comes as no surprise. Daniel Brunskill stands to see an increase in workload in Rupcich's absence moving forward.
Rupcich appears to have a torn triceps and is likely to be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. Rupcich played in five regular-season games, including two as a starter, in his first campaign last year and had suited up in all seven contests in a reserve role this season. The 25-year-old has logged just 16 total offensive snaps on the campaign. Daniel Brunskill may take on more rotational work at offensive guard in Rupcich's expected stead.
