Problem with playing through injuries is will it become reaccuring or are they behind him. I would wager he is primed for a big season but that will be contingent on his health status. One thing is we have now two to three physical WRs so in that regard at least the depth this year is better should a WR or TE go down.

I like Diontae Johnson. His nrookie year was absolutely na bright spot on the team and I'm looking for his 2nd year to be equal or by far better. Injuries are a part of the game / job and a full healthy season could be his break out. I;m just glad he is so enthusiastic about BENs return even though it was BEN's fault for DJs injury...... sarcasm nin case you didn't catch it)


EDIT: Nice informative write up Jordan !!


Salute the nation

Right?? If Ben could just get it together and keep other guys from getting hurt, we would've won the Super Bowl last year. What a waste.

 

[fidgenewton]

We will definitely see. Hopefully he's at full health when he does return, and he doesn't try to push through it. But you're right, our depth is much better this year and Ben is back so I really do think Diontae has the potential to light it up on the field this year.

I think it is a great problem that this could have been JuJu as well. two very solid wide receivers

First injured his groin Aug 4th and was held out of Preseason game 1 & 3. Must have tweeked it again Week 2. Really tough to still end up being an All Pro with a bum groin!
