Great news for the passing offense. We definitely need Olave to pull out a W in a tough road game.

Figured that was part of the decision to rest him against Giants since we'd have a short week. Glad offense could build some confidence then re-insert one of its best players

Yes!! this is good news indeed. I wonder when we Get Thomas, Payton Turner and Lattimore back, soon I hope.

Based on the most recent comments from DA, I'd bet Thomas and Latt are out until post season play if we make it. He just didn't sound confident in their availability when asked yesterday.

Also curious on Payton Turner though. He should be just about ready to come back so maybe they are waiting to clinch playoffs before risking it? Idk

This came up last week, but the OL has played much better with Ram out. Love the guy, but maybe he tried to play through an injury when he should have been healing.

Dang, Ramz is out again.

He's been a warrior over the years.

We need to trade Ram in the offseason.

If Ram has had a "lingering knee injury in recent years" why hasn't he had surgery in the Offseason to clean it up over the past few years so it would not continue to linger?

 

[SaintKenKen]

Good news to have Kendre back after finally figuring out how to execute screen passes vs Giants. Hopefully he can make some impact plays

Landon Young played well so I'm not terribly concerned about Ram needing extra rest. We have a short week but on the other side is a mini bye week before playing Tampa

The last two seasons Lattimore's durability vs costs are way out of alignment. Good thing we've got some depth.

That's the same question that I have. If you've been battling a knee injury for 2 seasons, chances are you're not going to play through it. It has effected his play at RT. Maybe it's time to shut him down for the season and get this corrected.

 

[B_doggman47]

Glad to see Kendre Miller back. Hopefully he can give our running game a big boost.

His condition is degenerative. It can't be fixed, or at least that's what Nick U. said. Who knows if he even makes it another season.
