Take it easy Antoine & heal before coming back. They need you out there but not if it will cause more damage to your foot. Someone else better step it up till you can get back to the “D”. We need you to be healthy for the Superbowl this year!!!!

Getwell soon Antoine!

Hopefully it’s only a mild sprain and he can be back up to speed soon. Too bad the bye week isn’t for another 2 weeks, this would be a good time for the team to get some rest.

It would be OK to keep Winfield inactive against the Steelers. It’s not a conference or division game.

It’s a big upset to loose Winfield, and we’ll likely see some big differences in the D because of it. Hopefully Frasier is good enough to compensate for his loss, and Childress’s play calls will be more agressive on offense. With the best factor of our passing Defense injured, we’re going to need to start scoring more frequently ourselves.
Take it slow Antoine, we’ll pull through this season much better if you come back at full strength.
