It sucks, but not surprising considering all of the injuries this season. He also brought it on himself by trying to get in a late hit after Hoyer had already thrown the football. Insult to injury that he was also offside.

Not sure he is worth extending. Not a transcendent player, although neither was CC and we clearly miss him.

Wish the best for Golden... but this far this season, let's be honest - he was Sophomore Slumpin...

David Johnson's injury last season looked bad and that turned out not to be much; maybe Golden has some of DJ's mojo.

For those watching on TV, did it look like he was limping at all? Because it didn't to me when he walked back to the bench - i know you can walk with an acl tear; been there. He just didn't seem to have much problem putting weight on it, so maybe its meniscus.

It's always sad to see a player hurt at least there's an easy fix that may well be an upgrade. Move Reddick to Golden's depot and play Buc.

Definitely on passing downs but he won't be able to hold up full time on the outside.

Golden is a good player...I'm not sure he will be worth 10 mil per year which is what I believe his market value was prior to the injury.

Torn ACL out for the year.

He wasn't getting sacks but he was getting pressures and he was a guy the offense needed to account for. Now it's pretty much chandler jones up front

I love Golden's no-nonsense attitude. He'll come back stronger than ever.

Yep, our OLB's tend to be around 260 lbs. All this talk of Reddick as an OLB leaves me scratching my head, we'd be annihilated in the run game. If we want to show more 4-3 looks then sure. 3-4 OLB depth was always suspect after Kareem Martin. Not sure how we'll handle it, but outside of 3rd and long it won't be Reddick

Mitch do u know who is available, a 4/3 DE ?

Juza, I am going to guess that they will promote OLB Bryson Albright or Obum Gwatchum from the PS. if they bring Phillip Wheeler back, I will be pissed.

Wheeler doesnt fit the role of an Olb in our defense
A speedy guy like gwatchum make sense cause can play a role in special teams
