Cornerback situation

[KB_fan]

Here is the table on Cornerbacks I put together after the Patriots game with the snaps they got in that game:

Depth	injury	Name	Pos	Def snaps	Def%	ST snaps	ST %	TOTAL SNAPS
1	now injured	Norman	CB	32	54%	4	15%	36
3		Benwikere	CB	31	53%	3	11%	34
4	now injured	Williams, T	CB	27	46%	14	52%	41
	Waived	White	CB	19	32%			19
5		Heath	CB	18	31%	8	30%	26
2	now injured	Tillman	CB	15	25%	2	7%	17
		Byndom	CB	9	15%	3	11%	12
	DNP - injury	Young	CB

 

Given all our injuries, do you think we'll keep 3 CBs in addition to Norman / Tillman / Bene?  I'd been thinking Williams & Heath would both make the team.  Now I'm wondering about Byndom and Young.  Or will we look on the waiver wires for a backup?

Also, I wonder if our FO is regretting waiving White in the first round of cuts..., but not much has been said about his injury.  Hamstring I think?  Any chance we could re-sign him after having reached an injury settlement?  I'm doubting that would ever happen... His cut was a surprise.

Hopefully both Norman & Tillman will be fine very soon.

I think we'll pick someone up. 

On an off note,  it's Norman's second concussion in less than a year.

Is there actually any real chance Norman and Tillman miss Week 1?

Unless the concussion is severe, it seems unlikely Norman won't be cleared by Sunday.  The same is even more true for Tillman.

Unless the concussion is severe, it seems unlikely Norman won't be cleared by Sunday.  Also I never got the impression Tillman's injury is serious either, although it wouldn't surprise me if we're patient with him given his age and injury history.

Tillman should definitely be available week 1, considering it's already been a week since the injury, and he has another week from tomorrow.  Norman may be cleared by then as well, given he's got a week and a half to get through the protocol.
