Im just happy Eli practiced. I know Brees is coming back soon and Cook hasn't showed much to begin with. Im used to TreQuan being out. Im happy with it.

This is great news!

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

Trey will add to an already awesome line.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

Tre. Smith has injury history in the books I’m afraid for him and his future here.

Our injury list seems to get longer week after week. We aren't snake bit yet but that may have something to with us having quality depth. However, if that list keeps growing I'll become more concerned. For now I'm just anxious.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

The bye week is coming at a good time. Really surprised about Apple. Clearly is was more scary than damaging. Gray will be missed on special teams.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

I'll attempt to put a positive "spin" on the report ...

We get back a FP in Trey Hendrickson. Before he was hog tied by Tyron Smith & subsequent injury (Cowgirls) a few weeks back, he was playing lights out. That's one more added weapon coming off the edge in the rotation.

Agree with Iceshack149 ... great news.

Thursday:

Kamara - Limited
Apple - Full

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

Seems like whe really dodged a bullet there. The man has been holding his own so far this year.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

Hyperextended knees are scary when they happen. It feels like you blew out everything. Recovery depends on how severe the hyperextension was.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

I fully expect AK to play, but more of a platoon this week.
Obviously Apple as FP is great news
Drew is a tough call, but I doubt that he starts. Can we afford to dress 3 QB's? With Drew as an emergency back up though, we might see more of Hill throughout the game.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

It will be FANTASTIC to have AK back however no need to rush when you have a 6'3 /235 lb freight train at your disposal ...

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

SP will be smart about using Drew and AK. AK actually concerns me more than Drew. I know he wants to get back in there, but we have a long way to go this season.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

I say sit AK let him HEAL long stretch coming.

After Sunday both will have two full weeks.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

Smith is closing in on the bust area.... if you can’t stay on the field it doesn’t matter how much talent you have.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

True.....knee injuries scare me though, especially on an RB. Full disclosure though...I'm going to the Falcons game Nov 10 and I want both of them playing then! [emoji16]

Divisional games are tough and it's a week to week league but has anyone watch ATL play lately?

Saints could lay 40 + on em if they bring their A game.

Re: Practice Updates - Drew and Eli Practicing
 

And no sign of Tre'quan Smith today either ...

Gotta hope we are targeting someone before the deadline next on Tuesday.
