I'm becoming concerned with Jonathan Fanene continuing to be out. We gave him by our standards big money as a FA and he showed well early in camp. Since then he has been MIA and is expected to miss his second preseason game tonight.
He is new to the defense and has shown a history of missing extended regular season games with injury. My view is that he needs to get back out on the field soon or risk being this years Shaun Ellis. He is a key to our sub packages and getting Vince reduced snaps in passing situations.
In addition I don't see him being cut and it would be a shame to see someone like Francis slip away if we are not going to get the Fanene we paid for.
Thoughts?
