Which is exactly why pre-injury Hubbard was the perfect compliment to Trey Hendrickson. I'll be curious to see the reports on Hubbard's surgery/recovery process. Having him back to being himself would take a lot of pressure off of the need to fill that spot with a producer.

If Ossai's last 8 games are truly an indication of where he's going, he might just be that guy, or at least a good rotational contributor.
5.0 sacks in that span.
31 total pressures on the season, which is solid for a rotational guy.

I'd be ok adding him back, but I'd still want a draft pick or another veteran signed to go along with him, Murphy, and Hubbard to help cover the pass rush opposite Hendrickson.
I don't think you can run it back with the same DE room and feel optimistic.
