I had no idea of the injury. 

And of course now I'm concerned that the influx of new talent and our commitment to the spread offense will make Hewitt expendable in their eyes.   I truly hope not.  I'd get rid of any TE not named Eifert before I got rid of Hewitt.  I also hope the injury is not a lingering one.

Hewitt is one of those players that make up the rosters of playoff teams - physically and mentally tough, and can be used in a variety of ways.

I'm really big on having a variety of lineups that can be used in a no huddle format, that keeps the other team from subbing and allows the offense the greatest flexibility.   Hewitt fits into that type of lineup.
