Brad Rempel-Imagn Images. Q: Will the brand-new CB, Kelvin Joseph, use defense?
Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland (26) and colleague cornerback Kelvin Joseph (1) diminish the sidelines after Bland obstructed a 3rd quarter go by Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (16 ). The Jacksonville Jaguars hosted the Dallas Cowboys at TIAA Bank Field Sunday, December 18, 2022. The Jaguars routed 21 to 7 at the half however returned to win 40 to 34 with a choice 6 by Jacksonville Jaguars security Rayshawn Jenkins (2) in overtime. © Bob Self/Florida Times-Union/ USA TODAY NETWORK.
Response: Unlikely, particularly wrong away (however we were incorrect about Jamin Davis recently; he played a bit versus the Cardinals).
The Vikings' training personnel has actually currently hyped up novice corner Dwight McGlothern. Plus, veteran protector Fabian Moreau most likely should have another appearance before placing Joseph on defense.
It's likewise worth keeping in mind that Joseph has actually played regularly on defense considering that 2022. Even then, he played about 170 snaps.
Moreau might get the start if Stephon Gilmore is on the rack, however do not eliminate McGlothern for Week 14 action. Head coach Kevin O'Connell talked aboutNudie— that's McGlothern's label– today: “We've got ‘Nudie' on the practice team, or I must state Dwight McGlothern. We've got him at any point in time, that we've had plainly we have a lot of self-confidence in.”
O'Connell stated, “We'll see,” on McGlothern potentially getting approval versus the Falcons, a choice likely approximately Flores, the almighty protective designer.
Think about Joseph an unique groups property with emergency situation protective aid upside.
Q: Will … Will Reichard and Stephon Gilmore play this weekend?
Response: Reichard is trending in the ideal instructions; we state yes to his probability. And we ‘d wager Gilmore takes a video game off to totally guarantee he's all set for the stretch run. Those are simply guesses.
O'Connell stated Wednesday about the returns of Reichard and long snapper Andrew DePaola, who likewise missed out on 4 video games: “Barring any problems, wanting to have both of them back.”
He stated about Gilmore, “He's offered us a great deal of terrific snaps. We're gon na make him sure that we're wise with him, however by no methods hold him back if he's all set to go. Still early enough in the week where I can't actually job that today, however today, he will continue rehabbing and recuperating.”
It seems like yay for Reichard and most likely nay for Gilmore.
