Vaccaro and tight end Benjamin Watson missed their second straight practice Thursday with concussions. Watson also suffered one Sunday night and his status is up in the air for Sunday’s game vs the 49ers.

Vaccaro suffered the injury while trying to tackle Cowboys tight end Jason Witten in the second half and did not return after Witten’s knee collided with his helmet at the end of the play.

It’s the second concussion that Vaccaro has suffered this season. He suffered on just a few weeks ago against the Buffalo Bills, but didn’t miss any games as a result of that one.
