Its early still but that's not great. 

Nothing to get up about, vets and banged up guys generally don’t practice on Wednesdays, it’s SOP, no need to create something to fret about...

 

Go Bills!!!

Was he injured during the game? I must have missed it

When he reached for the touchdown, the corner landed on him as they both went to the ground. 

 

He limped around from that point on. It looked like a Charlie horse.

Who is the replacement for Davis? Stills? Duke? Kumerow? 

Kumerow is back....if he cleared the COVID protocols.  He spent enough time w the Bills to know the playbook.  He did catch one for a TD I recall.  So, imho, he was resigned because of the perhaps 12 weeks he was with us.  Sills is a talent, but, the bills have a big playbook, and he has only two weeks to learn it.  So, if we need a callup, Jake may be it.  And K can help on special teams  as well.

He came up limping after the TD pass he dropped.  Had trainers looking at his foot on the sideline. [Edit: foot area, could be ankle]

I believe if he is "current in the NFL testing cadance" meaning the Saints were testing him every day, he doesn't need to wait 5 days.

That's assuming he misses practice and assuming an ankle injury for the Fantasy Men, not a source

But here, 5:16 in:

 

Gabe Davis and Vernon Davis both won't practice, but nothing said about what the injury was or either of their status from the "Coach's Mouth"

If Davis can not go could this in any way help Williams be activated? Kumerow replaces Gabriel. Kumerow picks up Jones's ST snaps, which allows Williams to be active as RB3. I would hate to have Sing go down early and be left with Yeldon and Jones as our RB's in what appears like might be a game played in the rain. 

Stills does make sense to activate though from a straight one for one from Davis. What Davis has done well this year, long routes that allow him to go after the ball, Stills excels at as well. 

Blast away, or ignore if totally out there.

If Davis can’t go then Stills is probably the next man up.

Taiwan Jones and Jake Kumerow do not fill the same role on Special Teams.

As we saw in the Colts game, going AFU on ST does not help a team in a playoff game

 

You guys are nuts, we're competing for the AFC championship and you want to make unnecessary changes at multiple positions to the roster that brought us here.

What does Jones do on special teams? I have honestly not heard his name called once. Good or bad. Really asking here and not being confrontational.

I think he's on all the units, honestly.  He's a core ST'er

I hear ya. I guess my mind goes to the second Miami game when Jones was out and Williams played. I do not recall our ST's looking any worse for it. Now without the luxury of having Moss available I worry about drop off if Sing gets hurt. This might be exactly why they kept Yeldon around. They like Yeldon, they just like Moss and Sing better.  Either way ,whatever McDermott decides I will trust it. 

 

Just watched the Stills highlight tape in the gameday thread. Stills makes a ton of sense to bring up for Gabriel if he knows enough plays.

this is less than ideal.  Diggs will be targeted 15 times.  At least he can handle it.  Hopefully Smoke has another great game.  If Beasley is better at all, he will at least draw attention.  I'd much perfer Davis, but I'm fine with either Stills or Kumerow as the 3rd WR.

That dropped TD pass was the first one I ever remember Gabe not catching.   It was an absolutely perfect pass from Josh, Davis was covered well by Humpries but  17 hit him in the hands.  Kinda reminded me of the Miami endzone catch, definitely a stretch but catchable.

 

He played the rest of the game a little hobbled, I'm sure the trainers figure a full day of treatment and rest is good right now.  We are now approaching a season almost twice as long as the typical college season, and these rooks can hit a wall this time of year.  He's earned the rest day.   No way he doesn't play Sunday.
