Is that official or your feeling?

 

[GatorAZ]

I’m really glad they didn’t take my advice to extend him.

 

[Buckybird]

Is that official or your feeling?

Official from Calvisi. They said it’s a bicep injury & if you saw the replay of him on the sidelines I’d say it’s accurate

Welp hope for quick return next season damn

Guessing maybe see more Simmons now?...

No. Simmons will never play Edge. I don't know why people keep pushing it.

 

[BritCard]

Cam Wake and Clay Matthews is it

 

[Finito]

That sucks.

This is really bad news to hear about Chandler Jones. I'm sorry to hear it. I was hoping for something less.

Gardeck the Destroyer!

Gardeck the Destroyer!

He is an undersized pass rusher but he is enough strong to push back guys lot heavier then him
He made the best pass rusher performance of our season

damnit

Impossible to play with a torn tricep. Not impossible to play with a torn bicep. Since it’s this early in the season, I’m sure he’ll have the surgery & miss the rest of the season.

Right now it looks like it would be Gardeck at OLB in base and Zach Allen at DE in Nickel.

Allen was a DE. That's what we did today after CJ left and Allen looked better at edge than inside. Probably needs to shed 10lbs though.

Crap! Good luck to Chandler during his recovery.

It says something about CJ this year that this thread would normally have 4-5 pages already of devasted fans in any previous season.

Instead the general feeling seems to be "oh well, good luck CJ" which isn't surprising the way he's been playing.

I think we might miss him more than his on field performance warrants as teams don't have to scheme for him.

 

[Broseph]

He was invisible all season, how much of an impact will this have on an already bad defense . I’m really concerned about when we play good offensive teams

Defense just got a lot worse.

He always light it up against Seattle and other division games. We’ll miss him when we play them.

 

[BritCard]

They might have to look for a trade. CJ is aging. Its a weak room. A trade might be best for the future anyway.

this can only happen next week or later on ... not at this point in time

AW did it but he wasn’t a pass rusher who uses his hands on every play.

sucks for #55 no doubt

One option might be Everson Griffin. He's not fitting in at Dallas and rumors are they might cut him when Gregory is eligible to return.

But Griffin might be washed.
