Elliot and Peppers both need to get reps, and hopefully Porter is able to play for outside coverage
I think the sooner T hey are healthy enough to let Ramsey move back into that in the box nickel or whatever they call it roll the better they will look.
No Jaylen could be bad, but Johnson getting reps opposite Gainwell could be his opportunity to get back in good graces with everyone. I’m torn on this.
Gainwell is about to get 20+ touches.
So Johnson is gonna be RB2 this week by the looks of it?
Hold onto that ball Petey!
When did Jaylen warren get hurt?
If I had to bet Jonnu plays and they give Porter through the bye…
Jaylen Warren is basically our only spark on offense so I really hope he’s alright. Dude is our only semi decent rb and also arguably our best receiver through the first three weeks.
Is porter expected to return this year?
I have a feeling Warren plays. They are probably just being careful, plus it could mess with Vikings game plan. Elliot back is huge
Man, I wish we’d get to see Highsmith for a healthy full season right now in his prime. I bet he’d be All-Pro

Andrew Van Ginkel is out from them as well. I don’t know he has been recently, but I remember hearing a bunch of hype about him after they got him from Miami.

Does anyone have any info on Warren’s knee problem?
