It is certainly good news, given the nature of the injury. Delane dealt with a shoulder injury in training camp and then reaggravated it in Week 1. So, it could be that the injury is flaring up once again.

Delane has quickly established himself as one of the best up-and-coming defenders in the league, recording 27 tackles, five passes defensed and one interception through five games.
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Delane played college football at Virginia Tech (2022-24) and LSU, where he had 45 tackles, 11 passes defensed and two interceptions and was named a unanimous All-American and first-team All-SEC in 2025.
