I suppose it depends on the significance of the injury. If we are talking season ending IR, then yeah. If we are talking IR for three weeks and then back then it's a hurdle, but not anything special. Most teams endure missing a quality piece for 3 weeks at some point of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACO Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 He seems to just be away for 3 games. It will be challenging but doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 IR is going to have such a different connotation this year. It used to feel like a death sentence, but this year it will only feel like an inconvenience. You'll see guys go on it for sprained ankles and such this year, because you can bring unlimited people back and you only have to be on for 3 weeks. I don't know the severity of Collins's injury, but if he is only gone for 3 weeks, the Cowboys have the OL talent and depth to compensate for that. You could do worse than Cam Erving for a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSURacerDT55 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I hope he is or close to 100% because he has to go against Myles Garrett back in the state of Texas as his first game back, that will be a daunting task Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t overlook Brandon Knight either, he was serviceable last year when he had to start a couple games for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how the IR should have always been done though. More like the IL in baseball than a true injured reserve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts4313 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Only 3 weeks, but we have a moderately tough start to the season with Rams/Falcons/Seahawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
