Breaking News Lewan may have torn ACL (confirmed)

Next man up

 

Next man up is probably a tight end or back to help Ty out.

 

Anyone got any statistics on Lewans snap percentage the past few years? Seems like last year and this year he’s missed tons of snaps due to injuries, I like the energy he brings, but I feel like he’s missed a lot of time anyways especially considering his contract not counting the suspension.

 

I think YTD Ty has seen 33% of the snaps, not sure about previous years.

 

Funny thing is, even after Lewan went out, we were still running a lot of TE in the slot, and emptying the back field, and Ty did ok.

The thing I'm most concerned about is depth. Hopefully Wilson can at least be that in case anything happens to Ty, and have Kelly flip to LT. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing.

Do we call up Kemp or Quessenberry up off the PS?

Wouldn't be surprised to see us make a call to Cordy Glenn or Cam Robinson though.

 

Ty’s effectiveness will depend on the competition. Against the deeper and more aggressive defenses, I am not sure he holds up. Hope so, but we don’t have much of a sample size. Depth is a big issue and doesn’t look as if Wilson can answer the bell on game day.

 

Problem with Lewan is he wants to be Lewan the personality more than Lewan the football player. We got a lot of money tied up in this guy who hasn't played a whole season in 2 years.

 

Has anybody read anything about surgery? Just don’t see anything about that in what I’ve read. IF its a partial tear and rest/rehab is what is recommended, he could be back by January. If it requires surgical repair, he’s done until next season.

 

Vrabel hinted at surgery in today’s presser. “I’m not sure when the surgery is scheduled” or something to that effect. But Vrabel is always dodgy in pressers so....

 

Big loss. This year they are playing so well, that you have to get a legit replacement. Ty was okay against the Bills, but didn't look very good yesterday. I'd like to find an upgrade if possible.

Absolutely ridiculous we spent our 1st on an OT, yet we need to find an upgrade after our LT getting hurt. I hope JR and Vrabel sit him down to get his head right. I know he was on the COVID list a while back, but he doesn't have any designations currently does he?
