Super bummed for the kid, hope he can come back next year and earn a nice payday from some team in 2026.
It's next man up. Truly no better position group that we are better at developing. Just please, enough of these season-enders.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if this isn't fractures that occurred as part of a high-ankle sprain.
Now that said, Cook's injury happened in week 13. Had it happened in say week 9, we may have gotten him back by the post-season.
If we have a long playoff run, we probably get him back. It's still awfully early in the season.
But man, we seem to take a bullet every week. And none of them are short term. It's pretty brutal.
Losing Eric Fisher wasn't the end of the world for us during that playoff run. But eventually we took one more bullet than the team could reasonably withstand. The cascade effect of these injuries is going to continue to pile up on us.
I know we're sitting at 6-0 but it still feels to me like we're going to have to hustle to stay above 12-5 (what a strange bar that 12-5 would feel disappointing). There's gonna be some pain coming.
