Well, having DOD back would've been nice, but I don't think it's a back breaker. I expect the inactive list to read like this;
LB Dorian O’Daniel
OG Jeff Allen
TE Deon Yelder
OL Jimmy Murray
OL Kahlil McKenzie
RB C. West
WR Kelvin Benjamin
I could be wrong about Allen. But with Reiter and LDT active, I imagine that they would be okay with depth. Reitee could step in for Morse, LDT would step in if either guard went down, and if a tackle went down, Erving could slide to tackle and LDT at guard. Of course if LDT starts, then Erving becomes the swing tackle. Erving was a good trade. Nice to have a guy that can play any spot on the line. [Reply]

Chiefs DB #23 Kendall Fuller has aligned as the slot CB over 75% of snaps this season
Chris Hogan’s season high in yards (78) came on just 4 targets against the Chiefs, 42 yards came on this rep against Fuller - plus defensive pass interference #PatriotsFilmpic.twitter.com/o3JfxijkcD
I think it’s fair to say Fuller has improved since then. Should be noted that it was just his sixth game in this system. I have a feeling he’ll be much better this sunday. [Reply]

Yes apparently Bob Sutton's defense is like mastering a Chinese abacus or something. They finally got all on the same page in week 17. [Reply]

He's had this foot issue for years...both feet. Up until now, he's always played on it.
It stands to reason that taking injections and playing on it is what led to the tear. To not repeat that, he chose not to inject and play.
Nothing about that doesn't make sense.
I have a very had time believing they did steroid injections in the calcaneal region. Especially with what happened to Ryan Howard
Not to mention that's not even what you said. You said taking pain meds caused the rupture
**Edit**
I'm definitely willing to admit that if he had been getting steroid injections in the calcaneal region it could absolutely make it more likely he would have a ruptured tendon. I didn't initially understand that was the point you were making. The risks of this are well-known, which would make it surprising if that's what they were doing [Reply]
This isn't the kind of thing they'd use cortisone for? Because it seems like that might explain them making him sit vs. the Colts. They want him for 2 games for sure. [Reply]

Fuller has improved a lot since then. Earlier in the season, he was pretty disappointing for me. [Reply]
