Probably a bruise. He returned & played.I saw Higbee limping late in the game. Anything to worry about there?
I heard Andy Ried was taken to the hospital after the game.
I'm not sure of the reason.
Hollins out with significant Pec injury. The Ernest Jones and Tutu picks are looking worse by the day. So now we have Terrell Lewis and Chris Garrett starting at OLB for a potential SB contending team? God help us.

Yea Obo is eligible to return this week. I've been very happy with our interior DL play. AD, SJD, A'sahwn, Gaines have all been terrific so far. But I've honestly been uninspired by our outside pass rush. I'll give Floyd the benefit of the doubt since he's been battling an ankle injury. But we need at least one guy from the edge who can consistently win 1-on-1s on known passing downs. And we don't have that. Hollins was the best of that group (still probably league average level at best) but behind him I haven't seen much. T Lewis flashed yesterday for the first time, but we all know he cant be trusted to contribute for the entire year. Only a matter of time before his knee acts up again. I'm not sure if there are any vet OLBs available that we can sign, but that's something I would seriously look into if I was Snead. To me that is the weakest part of this roster 100% and it's not really close IMO. If we can improve out outside pass rush I feel like this team could be unstoppable. And not to go back to the draft again, but its why those first two picks in the draft drive me so fucking crazy. Pick 57 and Pick 103 that aren't even being utilized on a championship caliber team. It's just insane.I wonder how close Ogbonnia Okoronkwo is to returning from his stinger injury ? I imagine we may see Lawler rejoining the 53 soon also. As long as they remain healthy, I'm good with Floyd, Lewis & Garrett holding down the fort.

Most rookies picked in the 2nd round or later don't contribute much on a championship team.Yea Obo is eligible to return this week. I've been very happy with our interior DL play.

There's plenty of examples of this are you kidding? You think 1st rounders are the only picks making an impact?Most rookies picked in the 2nd round or later don't contribute much on a championship team.
It's week 3... relax its a long season and we don't even have 5 ILB's and Jones did see snaps last week.There's plenty of examples of this are you kidding? You think 1st rounders are the only picks making an impact?
Point is Tutu and Ernest Jones aren't even seeing snaps. A rookie OLB would be seeing legitimate pass rush opportunities at a position of need this year. Thats the difference. A 5th ILB or 5th WR over a potentially starting player at OLB was a mistake IMO.
What game were you watching, I saw Earnest Jones taking some snaps on defense.There's plenty of examples of this are you kidding? You think 1st rounders are the only picks making an impact?

Well Atwell very easily could take over the Djax role at some point if he gets nicked and until then he does pose a HR threat as a returner, something this team has not had in years. And that is an important role or do we forget what Horne & Hakim did in 99'?Agreed. The TuTu pick looking weak. Especially since he isn’t even needed.
Reports were that the Rams were really hoping for Azeez Oluwariye to fall to them but it didn’t happen. So at least they were considering an edge early.
I don’t have a problem with the Jones pick. It seemed a little forced to me but I saw the need.Well Atwell very easily could take over the Djax role at some point if he gets nicked and until then he does pose a HR threat as a returner, something this team has not had in years.

As for Jones he was the 103rd pick and Young, Kiser & Howard were set for FA after this season so getting an ILB that you can develop and then can step in next yr was critical. After all they expect to contend again next yr. Right?
