Best case scenario they held him out one More week for precaution. Second best scenario he is in contract tracing. Worst scenario is he suddenly needs shoulder surgery.Manny said last Monday he was healthy and practicing. Thought he would play.
Brevin was reported healthy last week but did not play due to Covid. Does anyone know if he practiced last week? If he did, that means he got put on Covid list late last week and will miss next game. Dammmitttt mane!
Mallory has been solidifying his spot...
I think it would be a mistake for Jordan to turn pro after this year. He hasn't had a full season, needs to be a better blocker, and he still needs to develop physically.At this point does he even play another game as a Cane?
Im not into splitting hairs but i can see it...True, but severe drop off with Hodges and Mam. We need both of these dudes playing.
Although Hodges should have had a TD if not for the mugging that was not called.
While I do agree with you, feels like more than a few Canes have not made the best decisions on whether or not to come out especially the last few years. Hoping the best for him either way.I think it would be a mistake for Jordan to turn pro after this year.

With a lot of TEs putting up numbers this year, Jordan is going to wind up a 4th or 5th round pick if he leaves this year because teams are going to look at him as injury prone. He really needs a full season under his belt with elite level play to be that 1st or early 2nd round draft pick.

Yes, but to this point, nobody has played good enough to even think about coming out.While I do agree with you, feels like more than a few Canes have not made the best decisions on whether or not to come out especially the last few years. Hoping the best for him either way.
Agreed. I did say 1st-2nd round. Leaving this year he could fall to 4th-5th rounds or worse just because of the number of TEs available that have had production. Ad in injuries and lack of blocking, there you go.Here is your list of round 1 TE's since 2010: Jermaine Gresham, Tyler Eifert, Eric Ebron, OJ Howard, Evan Ingram, David Njoku, Hayden Hurst, TJ Hockenson, Noah Fant.
Its too early to tell on Hockenson and Fant, but with the rest of them I'd suggest their teams all wish they would have used that pick differently. Good organizations do not draft TE's in the first round. Of the guys above only 1 (Hurst / Baltimore) was selected by a strong organization and they already moved on from the guy -- the others (Cincy (2), Detroit (2), NYG, Denver, CLE).
I don't see Jordan as a Rd 1 guy just based on the dynamics of the TE position even before accounting for the injury history. Like RB's, I think the sweet spot for value on top TEs is 2nd-3rd and Brevin shouldn't make a decision based on trying to be a first rounder.
Agreed here. TE's are a bit a dime a dozen in today's NFL and even elite guys like Kelce, Kittle, Ertz and Gronk went after the 1st round. Not to say that a team won't reach for 1 in the first but unless you are a generational talent at the position (which Brevin isn't), it's probably not wise to draft one that earlyHere is your list of round 1 TE's since 2010: Jermaine Gresham, Tyler Eifert, Eric Ebron, OJ Howard, Evan Ingram, David Njoku, Hayden Hurst, TJ Hockenson, Noah Fant.
