Someone on Reddit posted that 17 teams have double digit number of players on their Week 5 Injury Report, the Titans led that list with 23 players! Looking at some of these reports, you can see why teams aren't willing to trade OL, so many OL injuries early on this season.
Titans: 23
Seahawks: 18 (before Thursday game)
Bills: 17
Browns: 15
Cardinals: 16
Raiders: 15
Bears: 13
Washington: 13
Bengals: 12
Broncos: 12
Patriots: 12
Vikings: 12
Packers: 12
49ers: 11
Giants: 11
Steelers: 11
Texans: 10

LETS FUCKING GO! I am seriously so fucking hype that tyre is even able to return at any point this year, really hoping he’s RT material once he’s fully healthy, mekari has held up well but tyre is more naturally suited and if he just has the skill to go with it then our OL would be really solidified.
idk - mekari's looked really natural there - his technique and footwork at RT is good and efficient - he just lacks that length and range that you'd ideally hope for
and purely based on preseason tyre just looked so much better inside than outside

I haven’t seen him outside this year so it’s hard to judge, but to me there’s just something that makes me uneasy about having a guy who’s built like a pure interior guy playing at OT, I get that he’s done well but im always waiting for the other shoe to drop with that.
or maybe mekari is just gonna work out at RT and phillips is likely the best LG on this team by far.
mekari has always had the technique and footwork to play tackle - its the length and build he's missing but ive liked him every time he's played tackle
but hard to know how the ravens feel about it and they may not put Phillips in just because of how thin the tackle department is (and because god forbid we have to put andre smith in again)

That’s a very good point about just keeping a pure G In at LG to preserve tyre for T depth. It’s pretty major at this point, I can’t imagine the drop off from powers and Cleveland to phillips is larger than the drop off from phillips to Andre smith
that would be the only reason i think you wouldnt think about reinserting Tyre at guard
but they may think that he's a significant upgrade at LG given they're still rotating Powers and Cleveland every 2 drives

Makes more sense than Bengal fans acting like we should be 0-4 and that they’re better than us

Tua is not the answer
Tua's not been playing - he's been injured so hard to blame any of this on Tua lol
but i thought their offensive weapons would be more dangerous and i thought their defence would be far more stout especially with how they competed when they didnt have any talent on their roster...
