Why was this expected? I don't recall hearing anything about Justin Ellis. Also with Ellis being out, it seems a little weird to have Broderick be out. We're going to be a little thin on the Dline. Then Mekari I think there was some hope he'd play, guess not. Then Proche is out again and there's never been an explanation. Not good to see that Willie is out after that weird hit. We'll continue to miss Jimmy and we'll likely miss Yannick at least a little. Also Mark Ingram has actived which I think is a little surprising. I don't know. I don't care, let's just get a win today
they sometimes have had both guys deactivated a few times this year... not a real surprise that we're only going with 4 on the DL - I think their expectation is that they won't need a ton of DL snaps today and they've activated both ferguson and jihad ward (who takes some snaps from DL) as EDGE
Mekari was super unlikely to play this week - the real question is whether he'll be back by wildcard weekend
proche healthy scratched last week - while disappointing it's not a surprise
willie and ngakoue have been expected to be out all week (just like mekari)
jimmy's out but I think he practiced for the first time this week (iirc) which is a good sign for his availability next week - would have been a tough ask for him to come back after like 3 weeks out with only 1 or 2 practices
the good news is that peters is back
ingram activation suggests to me that Gus's injury might reduce his load a bit
it's a different looking injury report to recent weeks but i wouldnt say it's surprising at all - most of this inactives list we could have predicted a couple of days ago
