Stevenson had a head injury last week. LUCKILY, he was able to play (with no practice). If he had the relatively "normal" couple of a couple weeks out, we would have been down to Bolden and JJ.I'm really just not that worried. If the RB group gets even more injured than it was last week, I'll worry, but that's also such a disaster scenario that it's not rational to plan around.
We already have everyone back and demonstrated that the running game was fine in the interim. Signing Le'Veon Bell or someone like him is reserved for teams even more desperate than this one has been at any point in 2021.
But no reason to worry, we would have no trouble against Cleveland with Bolden and JJ. ???
=============
MY BOTTOM LINE
1) At this point, JJ is a backup at best. That is NOT a knock on him. He is inexpensive and valuable as an emergency backup RB and returner.
2) Even when Harris comes back, we should have more insurance against injury, at least on the Practice Squad.
