With or without Hicks. That was one game in London. Rest assured this unit will be hungry after the bye at home. Not saying you don't start Kamara or Murray, but don't expect another Jacobs like outing. The more I think about it, the more impressed I am with the Raiders offensive line. Everyone left this offense for dead after the AB fiasco. The skills guys have a ton of questions. Josh Jacobs was looked at as the best rookie in what was not a storied RB class. Carr has been really just ok since 2016. Tyrell Williams has been mostly a role player sometimes deep threat. Going into this season most people couldn't tell you what a Darren Waller was. But they've beaten some strong fronts. Denver has taken LAC and Tennessee's offenses to the shed the past couple weeks. The Bears are the Bears. Maybe you can write it off as a London fluke, but you're talking about a very talented front seven. They even put up some decent yardage on the Vikings, though they were error prone.

bwarbiany 630 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Something to watch during the week, of course. But while nursing an ankle injury he got 11 carries, and 7 receptions on 8 targets. Slightly lower volume in the run game than typical, but in general the offense was hobbled beyond AK. So far he's not on the injury report officially, at least as reported by ESPN, but there hasn't been much in the way of practices. I want to see what's reported on him as we get to later in the week. If he's listed as healthy, he's in the lineup. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Josh Jacobs apparently has the 4th easiest run schedule currently for the rest of season. The Saints have one of the worst. I don't think at this point I would trade J Jacobs for Kamara. Maybe that's ignorant I dunno. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JrsKars 92 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Well depending on Karmara status going into this game against Chicago, Chicago placed A.Hicks on IR one of there top run stuffers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True but the dropoff between Kamara getting stuffed vs Murray getting stuffed is minimal, so you're not looking at a huge dropoff in production while at the same time buying yourself a week with Kamara getting healthy.

Evincar 1,755 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 He never should have played vs the Jags. FU Payton 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheINC 500 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I'd rather they just rule him out so I can play Murray or another option entirely. You can't sit Kamara at all, but a gimpy Kamara has zero upside (esp with Bilgewater). At least it would make my 6th round pick of Murray finally start to pay dividends. A split carries situation is just trash. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a low-end six week injury rather than a high-end six week injury. Should be fine in about six weeks. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully, rather have a single RB to play in NO and let Kamara heal up fully. But watch he'll prob suit up and blow out his ankle entirely... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did things get worse since that play? Probably not. Seems like it was worded more like an issue at the lower leg or high part of ankle. Must be an issue of swelling or just feeling sore after the game. It's clearly not a high ankle sprain. You don't play for 4-6 weeks if that is the case, unless your name is Barkley, and even he may miss near the short end of that range.

wayzupusc 420 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 He did not look right against the Jags at all. I hate that the term high ankle sprain is being used at all....I almost hope they do sit him to make sure he doesn't hurt it to the point it turns into a multi-week absence.

Sprain was never mentioned they just state "high ankle type issue". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
