Where was Karan Higdon?
Watching the game yesterday I couldn't help but notice that Karan Higdon didn't get any carries, and I never found him on the sidelines. Did I miss an injury report on him or something? I was surprised to not see him after last week's breakout game, and I looked through the board and didn't see any information about it.

Clark, mone, and Newsome now all have knee injuries. But as a former soccer player who's had a significant knee injury, there is nothing your S&C coach can do to prevent it. Clark's injury was non-contact and Mone's was an injury on a play that no one in particular can point to. It's not an issue with their leg muscles and/or flexibility but just random luck. The average NFL player with an ACL injury doesn't have a (statistically) significant difference in future ACL injuries

the knee joint takes an awful amount of stress in doing every day activities. And if you add in people not taking care of themselves well (like being overweight or not exercising much), that can put more stress on the joint. I had a minor knee operation while in my 30's and it was due to some really minor twisting I did to it while getting up off the floor. But with athletes, who can put a huge amount more stress on the joint, I'm not that surprised.

Maybe I missed something, but Maurice Ways hasn't played in 2 weeks, and Ian Bunting also didn't play this week according to the participation list. Does anybody know if they are injured, or just moving down the depth chart?

The official twitter account posted a video of Ways warming up before the game, so I think he is not injured.

But only after seeing he wasn't listed on the post-game player participation list. Hope it's just that he's working back from something and still in the picture for the future.

From everything you said about the kid since the time he was in high school, Karan seems like a really good person and I'm happy to see him playing meaningful snaps and doing so well.
Thanks for all the extra insight over the past few years.

That might have been his best effort for a game this year. Hard running, finding holes. Heck, all the backs seemed to have ratched it up a notch. Obviously the line play deserves credit; it's nice to see the running game look good against a stout defense.

I noticed that too. It was so good to see him show some emotion. Running back is one position where mentality matters a LOT. Seeing Ty run with passion and desire actually exposed what has been missing in his game to this point . Felt like he turned a corner a little bit.

The OOB was ground-caused, he was already down. But still, yes, I am much less confident in Ty's ball-security than any other back.
The other aspects of his game seem to be much improved, however.

Well, Evans better figure out how to get them extra yards because the running backs who are coming in next year will get the extra yards. They'll snag the carries right away from Evans. Especially if they get Najee Harris.

Poggi played, did he not? No carries, but was on the field.

Poggi started.
