I wasn't planning on starting this thread until next week but we've got some injury news that's pretty relevant.
- Anthony Averett is out with a fractured shoulder - potentially around 5-6 weeks - is headed to short-term i/r (i assume we'll have to elevate another corner to the 53 but who knows)
- Tyre Phillips has a hand injury that's been described as 'minor' - as has been postulated elsewhere this could be a justification to make a switch at RG if they feel like he's not taken the step forward they need (or if Mekari's outperformed him)
- Mark Ingram has an ankle sprain and they're hopeful he'll be back by the steelers game (i personally hope they hold him out for a bit because there's no point having him out there like against the Titans if he can't explode of that ankle)
- Derek Wolfe expected to be ready for the Steelers game
- Brandon Williams has tested negative so far - assumption is that he'll be able to be back as soon as his 5 day minimum isolation period is over
some roster moves to come this week i assume because we're down to 4 corners but have 10 offensive linemen and i think technically some space has to be made for brandon williams back on the 53 too (unless they just do a straight swap of him for averett)
got to think terrell bonds would be the next corner up but who knows...
