Twitter: McCarthy Player Updates: Lewis, Wilson, Cooks (sprained MCL), Tyler Smith

Why can’t Diggs play some WR?

Tolbert doesn't have speed.

And Ty Hilton is old and doesn’t play special teams. I just don’t think signing him right now is a viable solution.

For 4 weeks while Brandin Cooks heals? Why not.

Well, we don’t know that it’s going to be 4 weeks.

Then you sign Hilton. It takes him a week or two to get up to speed and into playing shape.

Cooks is back before Hilton is ready to make an impact anyway.

Who said it wasn’t? Nor does it change the fact that Lewis play was on the downside even prior to the injury and that Bland probably should have already been awarded the slot position due to fairly poor play by Lewis.

Lewis' play as the slot corner was not fairly poor. It was fairly good. Bland's has been better, which is what you want to see ... a player actually be upgraded not because he's bad but simply because someone is better.

No it was poor. And there were quite a few calls (justifiable) for his benching prior to the injury!

The key is to find out if Hilton is in running shape or not. If he is, bring him on. He already knows the playbook.

Not sure Hilton is really interested in playing football anymore. Remember he spent time with family last year before signing with Dallas in December after he already knew they were in the playoffs.

The Cowboys would be better off letting Tolbert play more or signing one of their practice squad receivers instead.

Not looking good for Tyler.

That one causes concern. He is so good and still a baby. But don’t want him rushed. Let him heal so we can get the mauler back

I’d hail the return of legit depth any day of the week. Certainly a chance one of these top 3 guys misses games. It’s the difference between Kelvin Joseph in Jacksonville having to play. Can cost you games, sending, etc.

Yep, so you would basically hail just about anyone.
