Both these players were placed on IR at the same time. Either could be brought back at any time after this weekend. Assuming that both are healthy and ready to go at this point.
Would you rather bring back LDT or Watts?
Which player would have the biggest positive affect? [Reply]
I think you have to go with LDT since he is a starter. I can see some argument that our line has been OK without him, but bringing Watts back isn't like he's the next Berry. As far as DAT, why? We now have 7 WRs and 4 RBs (I know Sammy isn't healthy), but what would DAT bring that would be more valuable than a starting guard or a 2nd-3rd string safety? [Reply]
I would like to bring back Watts as he was getting more and more snaps on D up to almost 30% before he was injured in the Jacksonville game.
Dirty Dan was suppose to make a difference when he returned and has had 0 impact.
Wylie has done a good job while LDT has been out. I have seen several mention Aaron Donald as a reason for bringing back LDT. Aaron Donald was beating Reiter and Erving not Wylie.
Of course it would be nice to bring both players back. [Reply]

You would think the NFL would want the teams at their best...as long as they are from a large market.
It does. But imagine how much a team like the patriots would cheat the system by sending a bunch of developmental guys on IR. [Reply]
Mahomes is our best defense thus you bring back LDT to further that defense. But I will say not by much because I think LDT is overrated and Reiter and Wylie have done a helluva job and glad they extended Reiter. Not enough of Watts to justify a roster spot IMHO. Our defense is what it is and our coaching staff and FO agree as well. [Reply]
