Friday Injury Report: Cook and Kamara OUT for Sunday

10-18-2019, 03:03 PM

Cook and Kamara ... officially OUT on Sunday.
I'm glad the decision was made to keep Kamara out vs Chicago. He needs to ice up and get back to 100%.
Lots of football left to play.

It is what it is.

Whew. I pick up Latavious last FRI afternoon just in case. Kamara likely takes off next week as well. That's a month off practically. He should be healed up.

Ozigbo would come in handy right about now, since Washington can't seem to pick up the slack besides being a special teamer.

I said it 10000 times during the Jags game, they ran or threw to Kamara way too much. It was only a matter of time. Not like we don't have other Runningbacks and receivers on the team.

Going to be a defensive game Sunday. 13-10 final score. Defense scores our TD.

Halo, even in preseason I thought he was getting an unusual amount of snaps for such a known commodity. Just chalk this one up as a head scratcher

It's the Jimmy Graham glitch that Payton had years ago -

The 1, 2 punch we had was Ingram and Kamara.
Neither running-back could survive an entire season doing all the heavy lifting work. When Ingram went down, Kamara had to carry and he got hurt doing heavy lifting work crashing the line.

We have Murray and he looks great, but SP is only giving Murray "some" heavy lifting plays - almost using him less than an exclusive 3rd down back.
We can expect Kamara to do most of the receiving, all the power running and downfield running too without getting hurt.
Murray should be much more involved.

I guess we'll see what we're made of without Kamara now.
Maybe "Checkdown Teddy" will have to throw to some different people this week other than Kamara.

We had to use him though more with Brees out. I will say, Murray has thrived in the role of being the default #1RB. I don't know if he feeds on it or not but he did it last year and he was running much harder last week getting more work.

This could be one of those parody games where Latavious looks like he injected Compound V and the Bears defense ends up looking worse than they did against the Raiders. Especially without Hicks which was a massive loss to their pass rush.

2 quality RB's on the roster. 1 1/2 quality TE on the roster. Not great work in those two areas. Might as well let Taysom play QB. If no one is open, run Taysom run!

Yeah this is the point I have.

Kamara pretty much has been the workhorse of this offense going back to last year.

We do need to sit him though so he don't get banged up worse against a Bears defense that is going to hit hard.
