Glad to hear there has been good progress & rehab. Those type of injuries can take up to 10 months for full recovery. Pre Injury Alex was a beast.

We'll need him in 2018.

Good news! I hope he's healthy when season starts and stays healthy. I love the Davenport pic,and if he comes out balling,great, but I'm not relying on it

Probably keep four, maybe five defensive ends (e.g. Cam Jordan, Alex Okafor, Marcus Davenport, Trey Hendrickson, and (player to be named)...

What really needs to happen is a healthy rotation, with little drop-off, & that includes Cam Jordan, so the pass rush stays fresh through four quarters...

Muhammed maybe... I am sure I am missing a player or two.

Yeah, I know - we're gonna be cutting guys we usually waited to pick up the week before the season...

We will be cutting guys all over the defense that we had pegged as starters a week before the season in years past.
When’s the last time we had so much depth in the backfield alone.

Are you saying we won't have to depend on you getting some before the game for good luck?

Just don't rush him back too soon. Personally I want Davenport getting those reps right now.

Davenport was out with undisclosed injury; injury disclosure is not req'd by league rules at this time...
