Our CB depth is getting depleted by the day :/ Down to Talib, Arrington and Ryan. Sure looked wonderful on paper before training camp started, though.
I was never really satisfied with our depth. The only thing you can count on when it comes to Dowling is that he'll get some sort of nagging injury before the beginning of the season. So I never really counted him. Ryan is a rookie coming in from a primarily zone-based defense at Rutgers, so there's a huge learning curve there. That left us with the starting three, an injury waiting to happen, a rookie trying to learn a new scheme, and some undersized camp bodies. Putting it another way, the CB depth was very top-heavy.
In all, it looks like what is going on with Dennard, if I can be an armchair doctor for a second, is an ankle sprain. Maybe a high one. With rest, he should be ready by Week 1. Now we just have to hope Talib doesn't get injured.
