Lucky this wasn't worse but still a huge loss.Get better soon Coby!Week 5 against the Packers is 9 weeks 6 days away, with recovery and ramp up, I assume that is another 2 weeks. So if he is on the low side of 8 weeks, he has a chance to play in Week 5. If it is the high end, more like Week 7 against the Patriots.Either way, if there was ever a stretch to miss, this is probably it:Panthers, Vikings, Eagles (no AJ Brown), Jets, Packers, Falcons, Patriots (now have AJ Brown).It would be sweet to get him back for the Packers game as that is the only one where I would be concerned about the defense up until that game.

On the one hand you have a guy like Trapilo who for all intents and purposes should be out for the rest of the year but may be coming back sooner. Then there's this injury, which at face value didn't seem too extreme. Now he's out for most of the year. Up to this point he'd been pretty durable. The other I'm concerned with is Burden. "Heard" his injury wasn't too bad but man it only takes one wrong twist or turn. I see the Bears signed Xavior Wooks in response to the Bryant injury. Maybe he'll have a "breakout year" under Dennis Allen much like Byard did last year? Report
