At DT/NT, Reader and Hill will start. That's OK.  Depth is is problem.  I'd be STUNNED if Ogunjobi can play.  Frankly, I'm surprised he has not been ruled out or put on IR already.  I suspect that is what the evaluation is about.  Could he be back by the SB or should we IR him? I'd be thrilled to be wrong.

Tupou is the next option.  That injury looked bad vs Cleveland.  But ZT is talking like there is a chance he COULD play, which is anazing.  Fingers crossed. He could spell Reader at NT and Hill at DT.


Shelvin is on the 53 man, but has not looked good. He is healthy. But I feel both PS guys are better options. Though he is at least a NT.  

Daniels likely out this week.  Maybe he can get back in teo weeks if we win. Wren got carted off vs Cleveland and has not played all year prior. I think moving Sample (or possibly Kareem or Hubbard) inside may be an option.  But being down Hendrickson likits that.

This is the week we likely would want to play 5 DL to stop the run, with 3 DTs, and we may only have 2 healthy.

I'm trying to think positively, it could be that being in a boot and having treatment for 48 hours will have allowed the swelling to have decreased dramatically.  Or initial studies ruled out fractures but they want confirming xrays.  Not all wait and sees are bad.  So I am in the glass half full mood. Probably just left over joy from yesterday but
