It's hard to know what to think at the moment. This is the "easy" part of the schedule but we have looked dominant defensively.

I don't think I see anyone left on the schedule that I really fear. That was something I wasn't expecting.

I'm with you, I think these kids can hang with any team I've seen play so far this season.

I think the biggest key will be remaining healthy. Being down two starting DB's hurts a lot. CMC was obviously a loss but I think the identity of this team is on the defensive side of the ball. Hopefully Bouye can step up and fill in well for Horn. Glad we signed him.

Fantastic news. Sounds like it's just inflamed. I'm thinking that will probably keep him off IR and they'll see how he looks in a couple weeks. Maybe wishful thinking but I wonder if the extra rest from being a thursday night game keeps open the possibility he could return in week 5. I anticipate they'll be extra cautious cause you want McCaffrey good for the long haul but you have to wonder if our offense looks abysmal against the Cowboys, there might be some pressure to bring him back as soon as he feels up for it. Also disclaimer: this is not coming from any area of expertise as I don't know anything about sports medicine; just purely hopeful fan speculation.

very encouraging news as we all feared the worst. 

 

Indeed it is encouraging news, but idk about everyone "fearing the worst".  Maybe I'm totally off, but when he jogged off the field and then they showed him walking back to the locker room later, (which they showed extensively) he didn't even have any sort of limp at all.  No change to his gait from what I could see.

Anyhow, great news!

I said it in an early post, but I’m pretty sure they just sat him after the first sign of any injury.

The injury may be very minor but he’s taken out of the game to prevent worse injury.

maybe the reason he was walking with his head down was more that he was disappointed that he was taken out of the game?

Week 2 made me a believer in the D.  Losing Horn is rough but I think we find a way to still be a dominant unit.

Darnold's 2nd half this week showed me he and the offense may be further than I hoped... I didn't expect him to command a half like he did this early. Thought he'd need to be brought along slower.  Trying to temper my excitement since it's only 3 games but damn.

      This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
