Interesting on M. Jordan in about the middle.

The original estimate for Ross was he would miss two weeks. It's now been officially 3 weeks and he now won't play in the game where the starters play the most snaps. I've been possibly one of the biggest Ross supporters on this board and even I'm getting frustrated at this point.

The biggest thing going for Ross though is that neither Malone nor Core has done enough to capitalize on Ross's absence, so I think he's safe. I will say though that if both AJ and Ross miss the first week(s) of the regular season, this offense could definitely struggle. There would be no real outside receiving threats and the defense would likely focus inside the numbers and toward the LOS.

On thing to note too is Glenn might not go. That would leave Andre Smith or O'Shea Dugas to cover LT in arguably the most important game of the preseason.
