Five DL not practicing

We need Woods to play. Gregory looks healthy plus we have Armstrong and Crawford who can rotate at end with Lawrence. DT looks thin if Collins, Ross, Irving and Woods all miss time.

We need to get and stay healthy to help dig ourselves out of this hole.
No health, no hope

They only have one warm body at DT and that is Christian Ringo on the practice squad.

I don't get how some teams remain so healthy. The Steelers are missing only one starter on offense and defense (RT Marcus Gilbert) and that is just a short-term injury. I wish we could get that lucky.

we have had years where we have been lucky.

Collins came back in after suffering the knee injury, so I would expect him to play although it could have tightened up on him after the game. Woods will depend on if he passes concussion protocol. Ross didn't play this week so I don't know how hurt he is.

So we've got Lawrence, Gregory and Armstrong health at end, with Charlton a possibility and Crawford able to play there if needed.

And Crawford and Reid healthy at DT, with hopes that Woods and Collins will be able to play. Woods would be the bigger loss IMO because Crawford and Collins are pretty close to the same level at 3-tech. Woods is that run plug that we need to have out there on early downs and we really don't have another.

Didn’t Randy have knee surgery? Probably just being cautious holding him out.

They also have Caraun Reid on the active roster.

Child please... we've been blessed with decent to great health for years. Teams have come in with mash units and beaten Garrett. Remember Green Bay?

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Please don't play Crawford at DE again. Someone please get healthy so Crawford can play inside like he's supposed to.

welcome to the modern NFL ... parity ... the healthiest team wins most games

Gregory isn't one of the 5 linemen that missed practice

 

[Praxit]

...probably precautionary. Let them full rest from bangs, bruises and whatnot.

Doh! I though he was.

Penalties and injuries have us by the short hairs.

Both can end our season this week verses Atlanta.

 

[millennial_legend]

We could live without Charlton, imo. Pass rush looked better with Gregory getting the vast majority of the snaps

 

[tm1119]

I feel like this happens every year...it’s a Wednesday in week 11 of the NFL. Everyone is hurt and skipping practices. I’ll have concern (if need be) after the Friday practice report is released.

 

[kiheikiwi]

I like Reid, he can play inside at the 3. Hopefully, Collins and Woods can go by Sunday. and if we can get enough DE's playing, Crawford can also play inside. I agree, if Woods cant go 1-tech is the glaring hole. As for Irving - meh.
It is also why DT, yet again, (as in forever) should be our 2nd round pick. In a year where its the deepest position in the upcoming draft, it is/would be criminal not to draft a strength. (Part of the reason I would clean house of head coach, OC and DC).

And we have another game 8 days from now....
