I would not expect so. After playing Olsen with a bad back and rushing DW back, I would think from here on out we proceed with some type of caution.

neither of these injuries had to do with their current status. it would be as if Samuel returns and sprains his ankle....

Considering already losing 2 offensive starters, thats a lot of caution for a divisional game.

You kidding me? 

DW hurt the same knee that was already hurt. You think he really should have been playing? His body most likely over-compensated somewhere.

Olsen, maybe but any time you have a back injury, it can lead to other injuries. You can't say with any more certainty than I can that your statement is any more true.

It's the dude's heart my god. I hope he can play and it doesnt create any future problems but rushing players back has already proven detrimental.

I thought it was confirmed that it wasnt a major health concern and that he wouldnt miss much time?

Other injuries like stepping on the defenders foot? I’m not a dr. but having a hard time connecting this to a back issue when I watch the replay of this happening.

    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
