Eifert is supposedly going to be out a few weeks.
No idea with Ross...he's sore not injured from what I read.

What is up with Evans? Saw he had a tight hamstring last game, hope it is nothing serious.
Was wanting to see this guy get more snaps in the Nickle.

Yeah I saw that on twitter after I posted this. Marvin said it wasn't related to his surgery. At this point, he can't be relied upon as a future cornerstone of the offense. Need to find a better tight end than the other ones next offseason.

We are used to it but when you think about how often Eifert is injured , it really is absolutely ridiculous .

Eifert's injuries are going to rob him of his talent.
May as well forget about calling him a dominant weapon when he plays. He's about to become average.

Remember some saying he may never be the same after last years injury. Could be true and he will never be the same again.
TE has suddenly came on the radar come the 3rd round or so regardless if we re-sign Eifert...

TE was on the radar during the last draft but instead of getting one we got a WR who misses weeks at a time because he's sore.

I was really hoping we would get OJ Howard. I thought he could help with blocking, and be able to be a legit target too... I think there's more to the Ross thing than he's just missing time because he's sore. The team is holding him back, or they're lying about his injury.

We would save a lot threads if we only create one when he actually plays instead of when he doesn't play.

Yup. OJ Howard, as well as a host of others, made a helluva lot more sense.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

He's a rookie, remember Marvins Golden rule, never play a rookie,

Let's start a pool on how many games Eifert will actually be in. I'm gonna go with 6.
And we can start calling Ross little Tyler.

I liked the Ross pick.
Just because i had enough time to talk myself into it since lap said we liked him and we supposedly would have taken Fuller the year before if he had fallen.
But man. When dude got hurt running the 40 at the combine that was a huge red flag for me.
Its all about speed and quickness for him. Hopefully whatever this injury is leaves that all intact.

Howard has been mainly used as a blocker in TB. I think people here would be underwhelmed with him.
