Would like to see some of Dax even if Mike does go which I think he will. He played the entire game after the injury.
I think he just needs rest and will be a game time decision and he will go. Jalen Davis is out if he is in a sling most likely.
He only has 59 or so snaps on defense. The vast majority have been at S, where I think he has been pretty good. There are a limited number at boundary corner after Chido got hurt that did not go as well. And then some at slot corner. Extemely small sample size. 59 snaps total in 13 games is 4-5 per game, most of them in obvious passing downs. So we will see. There will almost always be bumps with rookie DBs, which is why Lou doesn't like playing them if he can avoid it. But Hill's versatility, speed, and range are why we drafted him. And he is gonna take over for Bates next year (more than likely), so him getting his feet wet may be a good thing in the longer term.
If he stinks it up, at oeast we will know he may be more of a straight safety rather than a S/slot CB like he was in college.
