Shakir to miss the next 5 weeks due high ankle sprain (likely available for opener)

Maybe we'll finally get some production from Samuel.

What?   There are several other guys to work in the slot before Keon:  Curtis Samuel, Moore, Palmer, Shenault, Hamler

Well aware of that. But moving Keon around should be something to consider as it’ll primarily be those guys of Moore/Samuel working behind Shakir/Kincaid from that space. 
 

On top of that, all I heard last season when he was drafted and throughout his bumps was how that’s his “best” area to be lined up.

As a few others have said, yes, they can linger if done mid season because you can't take 4-6 weeks off from practicing / playing in games. He has that ability to do so now and not push it. He'll be fine and this shouldn't linger. 

Of course you can take 4-6 weeks off mid-season to not practice or play. Its done all the time. They still linger.

Terry McLaurin had a high ankle sprain at the end of LAST SEASON, and was put on PUP at the start of training camp because it was still bothering him... after 5 months of off-season.

Head Coach Dan Quinn said "Yeah he had an ankle at the end of last season and its not uncommon for that to linger all the way to training camp".

Absolutely, definitely depends on severity, no question. 

 

Yes but without sitting out you can't.

And people expect Cook to risk this exact scenario or worse.

Good thing we draft and invest in some grade A receivers to help should be super easy season for Josh.

Samuel 8 million AAV divided by 253 yards receiving = $32K per yard

 

Shakir 13 million AAV divided by 821 yards receiving = $16K per yard

 

Yeah, I'd say we are overdue for some production from Samuel.

I was happy to see the Elijah Moore signing. He won't have the YAC of Shakir, but I think he'll be a quality replacement.

If he stays healthy I know he was out not sure if he is back yet.
