Even with all his off the field troubles, I was hoping he would come in and try and kick his game into gear. Whether or not the league gives him a suspension may not even matter if his injury is bad.
Without Merling we are going to be thin at defense end this year. Langford is an obvious starter, and it now appears Odrick is going to be thrown into the starting lineup much earlier then anyone really planned. McDaniels(fighting his own legal problems) and Dotson are the depth at the end positions. As I stated, losing Merling for an extended period of time is a major blow to the depth along the defensive line. Let's hope the injury is not too serious.
Hopefully they have been keeping Lionel Dotson around for a reason. Is Rodrique Wright still out there? LOL.
