[Dante84]

Hollywood Brown has the same injury that Tyreek Hill suffered in Jacksonville back in 2019, Andy Reid said. He’s at the hospital being checked out.

I'd say we "can" beat those teams without him. But yeah they need him.

[Marcellus]

I don't find that update to be much of an update. There isn't any new news there, I think its still very much wait and see how fast it heals at this point.

[Red Dawg]

We are fine. We won back to back without him.

[PHOG]

Wait, we have Mahomes? WBF

Edit: And of course Carson "Crocodile" Steele.

Dude is like Bo Jackson combined with Barry Sanders with a dash of Christian Okoye

If we don't 'need' him to beat what is probably 2 of the 4 best teams we'll play all season, I'd say that suggests we didn't 'need' him at all.

It's a pretty substantial loss, fellas. Not unlike when Hardman hurt his heel, Toney messed up his leg and/or Kelce got injured the ****ing DAY before the season started. When you have an off-season of making plans around a cog you expect to be there and be heavily used, losing that guy is a big damn deal.

We built this offense around the traits he brought to the table and now they're just not gonna be there for arguably the 2 most important regular season games we have. It's not just about the production we'll lose, it's about how we've tried to re-make this offense in a way that incorporates what he does well.

And that's largely out the window for those games now.

We 'need' him as much as we need anyone note named Mahomes, Kelce, Jones or McDuffie in those 2 games. And we almost certainly won't have him.

That sucks.

Can he do anything Worthy can't? Other than getting injured while making a sandwich, of course.

I think they intended for Worthy to draw deep coverage and for Hollywood to operate in the intermediate areas more.

So yeah. Worthy can't draw coverage AND operate in those areas, no.

I think the 11 personnel stuff with Hollywood, Brown and Worthy was going to be super exciting (and still will be, eventually) but I'm guessing we're gonna shelve that for now rather than try to run it with Watson, Toney, Hardman or Moore.

(though god help me, I'd give both Toney and Hardman a shot at it...)

Hardman, yes.

I wouldn't let Toney be the water boy.

[Bump]

he might miss a few games, not a huge deal.

we'll still be better off at WR then we were last year and my hope for Ross to be able to contribute a little is increasing again.
