If we win sunsay,

Exaclty. Typically a 2-6 week injury.

Hes not playing this week and likely won’t play next week either.
I know it’s a different time but I remember Alvin Harper play with a sprained MCL against the 49ers after everyone thought he tore his ACL. So it’s possible Cooks could play with the injury.

JL isnt missed. Brand is a big play upgrade.
Missed? Guy looked to be playing his way to the bench before he got hurt. Bland took the job and never looked back!
Losing him and brown were a big reason why all the sudden our pass rush looked not as lethal, teams were getting the ball out quicker. Bland was a hidden gem and maybe that injury was a blessing in disguise cause that dude hunts for the ball, but JLew was pretty good too, having him back will help at nickle position, if hes back to form as a big if. FWIW JL had a 78 QBR given up and Bland was 82 or something, so very close.

...TE's must be All-Pros this game. No dropping passes.

Sure hope, Cooks can go. :rolleyes:

Fourth corner is important depth, unless you like the thought of Scott or Igbinoghene being the third corner if one of the top three goes out.

100% agreed and said the same thing.

The thing is, if he is on the PUP he is unable to do anything practice related. But I’m not 100% sure his involvement in practice.

Same thing with Tyler Smith. He’s not playing this week either. Hamstrings are tricky.
He's been close. Look at your depth behind Bland and there's you answer.

Hes not going to play over bland. You mean he might play in nickel as a 4th corner?

I don’t even know about that. Bell is playing exceptionally well at LB with Clark and Thomas is playing well in the CB role.

Not sure who you bench right now as both players are hot

When did this injury happen to Cooks? I didnt hear about it in the game, didnt hear about it taking place in practice. It just all of the sudden popped up. When?????

J Lew has had his fair share of big plays.
Then why dont I seem to recall that many? Brand had 5 picks his rookie year and just had a pick 6 first game this year.

Lewis was solid and steady, but that was it. Brand is the upgrade we have been needing.

Unless Brand goes down he really isnt even needed.
