Edmunds questionable now too? Wtf. Hopefully Tre White is able to go with Elam in doubt

Well that's pretty huge.

Not that you ever root for injuries, but since we'll be missing key defenders, it's nice to see that they will, too. Levels the playing field a bit.

How effective can Tre be if he plays. He hasn't played in a game in about a year. To ask him to take on a heavy workload right away is probably unrealistic.

Barkley and either Ingram or Rhodes get elevated tomorrow.

I would like to optimistically assume he would be equal to, if not better than, a rookie 7th round pick who has played 8 games and is banged up. I mean, injury or not, he is an all-pro with multiple seasons in this system. How effective can he be? Very. 
 

As far as work load, despite what many posters seem to think, I imagine when he comes back, it won’t be in a limited capacity

I hope you are right.

likely XRhodes, I’m guessing

[Process]

I forgot about Rhodes. He's healthy and ready to go if needed?

Benford was the starter before he got hurt so it may not be a huge loss. Elam has been improving but still hasn't been phenomenal or anything.

We're missing half a team, they're missing two players. I don't like this trade off. 😂

 

I think White could suit up.

Yes sir, I think he will be called up with Elam most likely being out.

 

Could be wrong though

Lol.  I dont think that will be the case though.  They have to call Barkley up by 4pm Saturday.  I dont think they waste the game spot on him if they dont need him.  If he is called up then Allen like is not playing.

We'll know by tomorrow at 4.  If Barkley doesn't get activated,  Josh is playing.

that is what I think too.  I guess its also possible that Keenum starts and they use Josh as the backup.  Not likely in that scenario but possible.  I doubt they dress 3 QBs though.

Wasnt Micah Hyde our emergency QB? I wonder who that would be now, if they lose both activated QBs…

 

Dawson Knox?

I like Barkley over Keenum.

If Keenum starts it makes sense to activate Barkley, even if they plan to use Josh as Back Up. If they're starting Keenum then, logically, they may only want to use Josh for a handful of series at most. If something happens early on to Keenum, they're in a position where there'd be throwing Josh into a situation they had been looking to avoid.

 

For me, if Barkely isn't activated, then they're 99% certain that Josh is fit enough to start.
