My bad. Allen said most of the Texans starters and 2nd-teamers weren't playing and I thought Higgins was at least 2nd team.

Six receptions on six targets for the Iowa State Texans in that half.
Death, Taxes, and Vikings losing players before the season begins for the whole year.
I'm not sure they've really had this worse than most. Everyone loses somebody it seems.
That guy was expendable for better or worse.

That's what happens when a majority of the free agents you sign have a history of getting injured. I don't think Moore is a huge loss though, but someone is gonna have to step up during Addison's suspension.
I'm not a Chiefs fan, but I have to give Andy Reid a lot of credit in player acquisition: He does not draft or sign players with injury histories if he can help it. I realize he is not the sole decision maker, but he does believe strongly in avoiding players with injury issues.
KC is essentially middle of the pack in injuries over the past 5 years. Who is injured may be far more important.
Injuries are so huge in making or breaking a season. When the 2 teams that make the Superbowl, they usually have 2 things in their favor: 1) A great QB, and 2) not many key injuries. Takes a lot of luck to get past the injury bug.
Except for their 1st round pick this year who had a very serious knee injury (torn patella tendon). I get that one though because they were desperate for a Left Tackle and Simmons was by far the best one left.
In other moves Tuesday, the Vikings waived linebacker Brian Asamoah II and waived/injured offensive lineman Zeke Correll. Correll will revert to injured reserve if he clears waivers. Asamoah, a third-round pick by the Vikings in 2022, has appeared in 46 games over three seasons, registering 30 tackles.
I know it is unlikely because Carolina would be dumb to trade him, but I'd love to get Adam Thielen back in the mix. He worked out with McCarthy a lot this summer so there is already chemistry there - and he's a Minnesota kid. Would be awesome to bring him home.
Would depend heavily on the deal and what's on his contract. He's a nice story but how useful still, really?
To me, the jury is out on CJ as a QB. He was good as a rookie and last year he took a step back. He does have the abilities to be a good one for sure. tOSU qbs tend to flop in the NFL, tho.
He has 1 year left on his contract. He was pretty productive last year. Think he'd be great to fill in while Adison is suspended and then step into the slot WR3 role. And cannot underestimate his leadership and the fact that he already knows KOC's offense. He could step in day 1 and play. If they could get him for a mid-round pick, I think it would be a great pickup.
Yeah, you very well might be right. If he has a good year it's only because he has an extremely intelligent and skillful WR corps.
They're talking about bringing back K.J. Osborn, who is currently with the Washington Commanders.
