The injury luck has been all bad for them. Before the game Saturday they had a db that they said would not play. So many guys got dinged up in the game they wound up putting him in. I don't think anyone who really knows is talking about Hurd, who I don't think is as good a back as Kamara, but they need both. Reeves-Maybin was the biggest loss -- he is not only a really good player, some thought he might enter the draft last year -- but he also was a leader both emotionally and schematically. If they get him and Hurd both back, relatively healthy, and fresh, it would be a big lift for them. If those two guys don't play, it limits them. Cam Sutton was also a big loss. He's an all-conference candidate. His injury was apparently the worst of those three.
Again, they are reaching the point where they are just refusing to talk about injuries, who is/isn't available for Saturday, etc.
Not much word on the players who were injured Saturday, but they helped several linemen from the field. I expect Butch to start as many walking wounded as he can Saturday but some of them will be braced, taped and limited.
