CMC Injury Update: "Less than grade 1" hamstring strain

[KatsAzz]

This is a good report about the injury to CMC,now we need the backups to step up and show they are capable NFL running backs.

The longer we can keep winning without CMC the better Sam and the rest of the weapons will get.  Also means the longer we can let him recover and not over ride him when he gets back.  Makes the long haul of a 17 game season easier to endure.

Good point, it's a strain.  I have no idea how to change the title or else I would.  

got ya

he needs to be kept like this till he is ready to come back.  No conjugal visits for miss pointy elbows either.   It’s football season dammit

I’m curious what everyone thinks CMC workload should look like when he returns? I’m thinking instead of 30 touches he’d get more like 20-25 depending on game flow. Def stop banging him between the tackles in the 4th quarter.

20ish with a different look at the run game. Enough with the facepalm Shula like calls of running it up the middle. Get McCaffrey in space and let Royce get the tough yards. We even saw the capabilities of Tremble we have options just have to be creative instead of mind numbing predictability.

I was so pissed when we were annihilating the saints but refused to take CMC out of the firing line, and continued to let him take the hits instead of Chuba or Royce. I understand he is a very competitive player and wants to be out there to help his team at all costs, but at some point everyone involved has just got to play it smart with him.

Has anyone heard if Horn has had his surgery yet?

[Soul Rebel]

Happy to hear that it's not as bad as once thought. However, I do have concern that it will linger all year long and we won't see a 100% CMC in 2021....potentially leading to a quicker degrading of the tread on his tires long-term.

He's deciding still. Either way he's done for most of the year.

Some much needed good news on the injury front

Time to stop the 40 touches a game, no human being can withstand 680 collisions a year from NFL athletes the way a RB gets hit.

Give him more downs off the field, we don't need him 95% of the snaps.
