No ... you don't IR Zeke ..3 games is too long out - you sit him for maybe one game while you go with pollard, clement .
yes ,..U lose valuable blitz- blocking and very tough one -two td TD runs ,..but you need him healthy for the very crucial Dec stretch run into the playoffs

bad thing is we don't have good blitz blocking RBs, TEs and there hasn't been a FB on this team for some time.
(Kellen does not believe in true blocking FBs i guess)

after that one game, in according to how his knee is responding you have zeke as an emergency reserve backup
if you might need his blitz-blocking in a crucial 2 minute drive . have him as an emergency backup while avoid excessively playing him ,..

I was just looking at vintage Tony Dorsett highlights. TD would explode out of his stance, take the handoff and accelerate to and thru the hole. No dilly dallieing, same with Emmit Smith. Same with Zeke his 1st 2 years until the "Laveon Bell" style of hesitation until a hole develops. This style is terrible. Zeke needs to rest and then get back to exploding to and thru the holes.
