Even before I heard the diagnosis, just seeing headlines about foot injury I started to wonder if we might "redshirt" him this season via IR, and reassess next season how personnel and scheme overlap properly. (Are we power running, finesse, or somewhere in between?)

I figure this is good news for a guy like Austin. While he may not be able to run out of the backfield, I think his quickness and versatility on screens and underneath routes will get him on the final 53 now. If Etienne was full go, I think he ends up a tough cut. That said, I might give him a few carries in practice just to see what he offers if they haven't already, just to see if we have some flexibility with dealing with Etienne's recovery.
