google says 4-8 weeks. If that is so, time to IR him.

Yup, I already updated the injury sheet. I expect him to be IRed and to come back after the bye week.

This also means Rosie Nix should get a call this week.

Do you think Rosie is in football shape and can be healthy?

No idea. Our bonuses are, he knows our system, and he is capable on Special Teams. Good thing is he won't have to do more than 20 total snaps a game with ST and O snaps, so game shape isn't as important with big breaks between plays.

Nix can handle 4-6 games of some FB and ST work. If he gets hurt, move on again.

Didn't JaySam play some FB in college? And he should know the system/playbook enough to get by.

JaySam isn't scaring anyone as a FB

He isn't scaring anyone as a RB either. Looks like his best position for this team is special teams. That pass catching ability hasn't shown itself so far, well nothing about his game really has so far. Although I do realize the season is young. But I don't foresee him getting a lot of opportunities.

No JaySam was a scatback in college. His claim to fame was 200+ Catches and 19TDs as a receiver. He was also their Wildcat QB, that we used to mix results last season.

Might be time to call RN in for a look and kick the tires.

Cope, does a grade 2 have a propensity to linger more easily than higher grades?
