He said the fact they were both veterans is in their favor. If they can't go, Isaiah Prince would start in place of Reiff and Trey Hill would start in place of Hopkins. I have a feeling that unless they can't walk both will try to go but still this development makes me nervous. I don't want Joey Bosa facing 2 2nd string players
Chris Evans is doubtful with his ankle. That would possibly mean Pooka Williams getting a call up from the PS. Trayveon Williams has used up all his allowed call ups so unless he is officially placed on the 53 he is done for the season.
Mike Thomas (WR) and Khalid Kareem have also missed practice all week due to non-COVID illness. Thomas missing the game is no big deal, they would just have Trent Irwin active. Kareem, though, has been a really nice rotational piece since he came off of IR so it would be tough to lose him on Sunday
Hope Reiff and Hopkins can go. Saw Reiff was looking ancy to go in after the injury so I have a higher hope for him to make
it a go. Like you said, both these guys being vets we don't really need them to practice much. Trey Hill needs to clean up his
penalties if he does get the start though, been our only guy on the OL that has made these headscratchers.
Have to chip Bosa like we did Watt regardless with our RB's and TE's. Would like to see Pooka get some touches. Agreed on
Kareem, want to see more of this guy in our rotation.
