Harold Landry Tears ACL, Out for Season

You're right, Weaver could replace Landry, we don't know what he brings

 

I like Landry a lot was a big supporter in signing him, but a lot of his sacks were cleanup sacks. He wasn't a disrupter like Simmons is. Losing big Jeff would've been a death sentence, losing Landry is manageable but still a hit no doubt

 

I completely agree with Titanic_Sub. Don't get me wrong, Honor has put up some big numbers and was our leading sacker. However, I don't believe his loss is entirely catastrophic. Simmons and even Autry would be much bigger losses. This just puts a little more pressure on the other LBs, primarily Dupree, I believe.

 

I feel like Simmons and Dupree opened things up for Landry last year. Dupree didn’t put up tons of sacks but his presence was definitely felt. Hopefully Weaver can stay healthy and step in.

 

Did Landry have surgery to repair it? (Too busy/lazy to look up.)

 

This doesn't really answer your question but it's of note

 

So it’s REALLY weird to me that no surgery has been reported. And there’s rumors he could be available late this year.

 

That is weird

 

Something is up with this lack of news regarding a surgery. And there hasn't been any news the ACL tear was confirmed. It's possible is was a partial tear or mensicus tear or anything. Just weird that no further medical news has been released and he is on IR with "return" designation. Could be Vrabel doing the Pats injury thing but its def weird.

 

It would be incredible if he would somehow be available for a late playoff run.
