His wife tweeted back to Rita that he's been blessed his whole career injury wise, until now.

Looks like he's gone.

Thats not good folks. While not the player he once was, he was still gonna be a solid contributor this year.

Next man up.

He'll be missed at DE but not at LB...

Get started on your rehab now, William.

Now we're dangerously thin at OLB. We've got a bunch of kids on the roster who are gonna have to grow up real damn fast.

I expect we'll bring in some stop-gap vets and journeymen for a look.

I'm pretty sure Butler will be the designated returnee.

Still like to know what happened with Chase Thomas, or what didn't happen...

Word was he just wasn't fast enough (explosive) combined with several other OLB prospects that were ahead of him.

Just got confIrmation from wwl. Hes gone.

I guess its Martez and Galette at the Jac. I wonder if we'll avoid playing Wilson at the SAM just to make sure we have enough talent at Jack

I'd imagine scrounging up a decent SAM is a bit easier than finding a Jack LB.

Anyone look to see whats out there? Who's expected to be cut that can help? Might we be forced to trade a good player?
