I thought DJ was limping when he came off the field in the first quarter so I assume they're just looking at this as a if we have depth behind Chase, we can rest DJ and get him healthy for the 2nd half of the season.
Sure hope we have Kirk back for NO though, the lack of viable receivers was really a problem at times yesterday IMO.
The 49ers are allegedly actively seeing AJ Green or others in trade because they think they're really good and a #1 WR would put them over the top. I can't see us in the same boat but if I'm the Bengals, I want to trade Green, and I'm looking at us and them, it sure figures we'll have the higher draft pick. 49ers are supposedly willing to let Solomon Thomas go in any deal and there was some speculation they might move Armstead instead for the right guy, that's something we can't really match we dont' have a former 1st round pick DL we can trade.
I continue to dream about this offense with a legit #1 threat at WR although Obviously Green has to be healthy and he's in the last year of his contract so you have to get a guarantee you can keep him. If he winds up in SF we'll have to deal with him too.
