At least......we do have a backup with experience now that has some confidence and ability. And if I was JoMo...I would get Keyteon and Jalen Mayden as many snaps as I could during the SFA game. Would be nice if Jalen could play the whole 2nd half against SFA. Let Nick have the 1st Qtr, Keyteon the 2nd, and Jalen the 2nd half. But I hear SFA may not be as chopped liver as we think.
While the injury was horribly gruesome, this is an easier injury to rehab and return from than ACL(now of course you don't want either one), but Nick physically will be 100%. The mental part I don't worry about with Nick, dude is tough as nails. Also when I read the story about Nick showing the video and pics of the injury to Breiner and Nick laughing about it, that tells you the dude's mentality.
