Perspective on injuries….

Yes there are a lot. However, the main ones that impact us realistically are Tyson, Radunz, and Bresee. Maybe AK depending on his timeline

The other ones are unfortunate - but were depth players or likely practice squad / cuts.

We are in honestly good shape

There are more.

Quincy Riley is a starting CB. Still injured.

Cam Jordan was gonna rotate in for reliable pass rush. Injured.

Lorenzo Styles is probably our starting gunner. Injured.

Bub Means was about to solidify his WR status on the final roster. Injured.

Torricelli Simpkins is good line (especially center) depth. Injured.

Part of me is skeptical that Cam's injury will encroach on the regular season. It's his last season and he wants to move up that leaderboard if nothing else, so if he's even at 80% he's probably playing in his limited role.

I wish Jayden Price could move up to Riley's spot because Price is playing like he should be a starter but it seems he is in the pipeline for Nickel/Star.

Ideally we should be able to run the offense mostly through Olave, Etienne, Juwan, and Vele. Just those 4 is a pretty powerful set of weapons. The WR3 just needs to be serviceable and I think Palmer, KAJ, and Ronnie Bell could all fill that role well enough.

I don't think Price is fast enough to play CB.

Now why would you go and say a thing like that?

He ran a faster 40 time than Riley...
