Hate it for him. Was seeming to get more comfortable in his role.

When is Byrd eligible to return?

When Can Athletes Return to Sports Following a High Ankle Sprain?

Despite the fact that most athletes who experience a low ankle sprain can return to sports within one to three weeks following the injury, those players who sustain a high ankle sprain are often out of sports for four to six weeks depending upon the injury severity. Sports that involve cutting and pivoting, such as football, are especially difficult to play in the setting of a high ankle sprain. The player’s position may also dictate the length of recuperation as running backs or linebackers who have to quickly change direction are often the most disabled with this injury. For those athletes who require surgery, sports activity can usually be resumed in approximately four months. Therefore, surgery for this injury typically results in an inability to return the same season.

Once an athlete sustains an ankle sprain, he or she, unfortunately, is more prone to future injuries. It is for this reason that most NFL teams require their players to have their ankles taped or braced during competition in an attempt to reduce the risk for recurrence.

Goddammit.

Benjamin gone, Byrd out, Samuel out.  If we lose any more receivers, we may end having to line up CMC at WR.

I hate to see this. I see a little DeSean Jackson in Samuel, both positives and negatives. Positives with blazing speed and can be a mismatch in the slot vs an outside linebacker in coverage, but a negative by always being hurt with injuries (hamstring previously, now ankle). Hoping he recovers well -- he could definitely be an x-factor if he's on the field.

Perfectly ok with that

Byrd is eligible to return December 3rd.

Hate to hear that. Luckily, we still have a player with his particular set of skills. 

[AggieLean]

Damn, that sucks. He catches that TD, then his season ends on a high note. Maybe he can take solace in knowing he was open. 

Anyways, Cam will make due with whatever receiver is out there. Hopefully, Byrd will be back soon. He and Clay will provide the speed

[Dunn]

Maybe Clay can start to see the field a bit and show what he's made of, and honestly Philly Brown should have a look at, would be a no brainer to bring back if we need WRs.

Maybe, but we have no idea how effective he will be.  Didn't see enough of him before the injury to get a real indication of how good he can be.  And with the injury, there is likely to be some rust.
