A healthy starting roster

Big season-ending injuries have happened this year as Devin Bush and Bud Depree have torn their ACLs on separate occasions and have taken a toll on the Linebacker core on Defense. As well due to the Covid pandemic of which I unfortunately caught, players like Conner, Ebron, Williams, Pouncey, Boswell, and now Joe Haden, their presence was missed in the month of December that played a role in the 11 – 0 start.

Covid is something that does not need to be messed around with and I’m glad to hear these players have or are recovering quite well. A plus is that for the game against Cleveland, we have about every starter ready to go, of which I can’t say about the Browns who are missing key players and their head coach.
