October 8, 20214 yr Could we be seeing the future OTs on Sunday? I think there's a greater chance of that now than a couple of weeks ago.

Who knows what the real reasons are, but honestly we need to start figuring life after Lane … the sooner the better. His age and recent injury history says it is better to plan to replace him earlier rather than later. This is a good year to evaluate other options currently on the roster.

But the fact that nearly a week later we know nothing still? And he's going to miss a second straight game, that's concerning. I wish Lane all the best of course and I hope all gets sorted but the lack of any kind of explanation when a vague one?
