Ingram & Casillas out against Vikings Sunday

Ingram will be fine. We just have too much depth to risk rushing him back. I miss Casillas, but like seeing Wilson on the field. If we come to play...we should be fine.

Besides; we have the depth to allow players to sit until 100% and be ready for the playoffs

And I think that if we didn't have Ivory, Ingram probably plays those games anyway.

As you said, we now have the luxury of sitting a banged-up RB for a week instead of needing him to play thru the pain.

It will be interesting to see if their health and limited use has an affect in January.

Methinks it gives us the edge now against the Packers in the snow in Lambeau.

Ingram out is no big deal since his replacement is banging out some good yardage. Cassillas is alright but nothing special yet.
