Ebner and Fleming officially out on Sunday

Cameron Fleming and Nate Ebner are officially out for Sunday's game. They didn't practice all week, so that was expected.

Don't like seeing this; hopefully minor:

Doug Kyed ?@DougKyedNESN 5m5 minutes ago
Dominique Easley was added to the practice report Friday with a knee injury. Questionable.

 

[JackBauer]

Volin picked Cannon as the replacement starter at RG.
Howe picked Wendell ( ) as the replacement starter at RG.

Either way...woof.

I fully expect Brandon Browner to take over Ebner's big nickel role in sub defense packages AT LEAST if not playing the entire game at corner.

Sunday inactives v. Bengals



Fleming and Ebner have been ruled out.

The only issue becomes what they do with the roster to make this happen.. They would need to cut/IR someone to make this happen.

I think easley might also be touch and go.

I'd love to see Slater try that role if Browner is needed elsewhere. He's one of the best tackler's on the team.

Flemming seemed to play well so that sucks. I'm not the best judge off offensive linemen but did others think he played well?

They looked good to me; just need reps together.

Looks like we could Wendell at RG in place of Fleming Sunday night.

 

[Sticky Caulk]

Flemming losing a game really sucks. That OL isn't getting any chance to gel.

 

[Kontradiction]

Hopefully Amendola will be inactive by Sunday afternoon and Dobson will be active.

Going to be interesting to see who replaces Flemming at RG. Cannon has shown to be a much more reliable tackle than guard, Wendell is a bad center and I'm not sure how much he has even played at guard. I wonder if they would consider putting Kline in but if he couldn't even beat Devey, then how good can he be?. Our choices don't look great to say the least.

They don't need too until next week

They don't need too until next week

Only if he doesn't dress Sunday. They have to create a roster spot before they activate him.
