All over again. We get a promising late round backer, and he gets injured. WTF
Jabaal Sheard signed

What happened? Did he sprain his ACL celebrating in the end zone?

Hamstring...  
Ryan : 10/20/2020 4:52 pm : link
...so I don't think he's done for the season - probably a few weeks.

Signing Jabaal Sheard to take his roster spot who has some moderate pass rushing value.
What the...?!  
lugnut : 10/20/2020 4:53 pm : link
I mean seriously what the...?! I just did comment on him and his lingering hamstring, now it's much more than that? CanNOT catch a break.

IR is only 3 games in some cases.

A pulled hammy is not the same as a torn ACL.
I guess more Mayo now  
LBH15 : 10/20/2020 5:02 pm : link
or do you want to give Downs another shot?

Perhaps a mix of both but Mayo is a veteran at least.
A few weeks on IR might not be the worst thing.  
Big Blue Blogger : 10/20/2020 5:29 pm : link
Crowder has some potential, but he’s really raw. He jumped up the depth chart because other LBs sucked and/or were injured; but aside from one big play he didn’t seem to have mastered his responsibilities (or tackling).
Yes he is a raw. But Crowder showed decent recognition  
LBH15 : 10/20/2020 5:39 pm : link
and speed out on the field. Sorely needed at LB.

Definitely missed a few tackles last week...many guys did.
Mayo will probably take most of the snaps  
Biteymax22 : 10/20/2020 5:41 pm : link
But I wonder if this gives us an opportunity to see Brunson?
IR can be only 3 weeks  
5BowlsSoon : 10/20/2020 5:46 pm : link
So he could be back for game 10. Hopefully his hammy improves in that 3 weeks.
I’m thinking Fackrell and Coughline may see some time inside but  
Ivan15 : 10/20/2020 5:53 pm : link
Mayo may be the starter next to Martiinez.

I’m fine with seeing what the kids have during this three weeks. I already know what Mayo can do...run stuff a little, that is about it. Hopefully coughlin or Brunson can show us something to get us excited about next year, much like what Crowder has done.
Guys relax  
DavidinBMNY : 10/20/2020 6:14 pm : link
This move replaces Carter. We're down one Edge this brings it back to even number. With a hamstring that Crowder has it means he's probably out 4-6 weeks. Maybe Brunson gets a shot now. Timing is good anyway on a short week it's time to use the back of the roster.
This doesn’t replace carter  
djm : 10/20/2020 6:54 pm : link
It compounds Carter.
The air is slightly seeping out of ...  
Jim from Katonah : 10/20/2020 7:35 pm : link
... out of my irrational optimism balloon with this news. Sheesh. Ok, well let’s see what the other young dudes can do ... but man, I really love Crowder’s speed and range.
Somebody remind me  
BlackLight : 10/20/2020 7:59 pm : link
is the three-week IR thing just a Covid wrinkle for this season, or is this something we're going to have long-term?
So, he only has to stay on for 3 weeks  
Matt M. : 10/20/2020 8:21 pm : link
Not a big deal, since he likely would have missed that much time with a hamstring injury anyway. It sucks because he looked promising. He certainly doesn't look like a throw away last pick in the draft. It's good we got to see a little bit of him the last 2 weeks.

Unusual, probably a one year deal, but it should be fully implemented.
When did he get injured  
Rick in Dallas : 10/20/2020 10:09 pm : link
I really liked the speed he plays at LB. This sucks... get well soon
I thought I read that he likely injured it on the fumble return  
chick310 : 10/21/2020 8:42 am : link
play. If you rewatch that tape he is not really running at top speed with everybody closing in on him.
I'm just glad that he didn't tear an ACL like Ryan Connelly  
Jay on the Island : 10/21/2020 12:02 pm : link
The first thing I thought of was him when I saw the news of Crowder going on IR. I am going to remain cautiously optimistic about Crowder's upside but he has impressed me a great deal these past two weeks.
