What source stated this? He could be back in a couple of months if not sooner on a broken fibula.

Maabry should have a look as well. Jenkins needs to get out of the tub.
I like FA Corey Wooton or see if Kevin Williams is interested.

Assuming Fairley brings his A game (which he can), we should be ok. Loosing a promising rookie for 7 weeks or so won't make or break this team in 2016.

Trust and believe .

That's about the dumbest statement I have read in the history of this board. Like I said, TO healed after 3 weeks and played well. He's a big man and was past 30.
Rankins will be fine.

While losing Rankins is huge, at least Tyeler Davsion has been absolutely killing it in camp. We also have Fairley too.

Re: Sheldon Rankins Injured

That doesn't seem like the type of injury that should ever result from simple drills. Wonder what in the world happened?

Re: Sheldon Rankins Injured

Could be worse. Probably 6-8 weeks to heal. It sucks but at least it isn't a tissue injury.
