The rookie out of Boise State is a bit more difficult to evaluate because he plays a position dependent upon the supporting cast. Jeanty ranks sixth among running backs with at least 50 rushing attempts in tackle avoidance rate (23.4%) and fifth in yards before contact (.55), according to TruMedia. He has done a good job in pass protection.
Egbuka missed the first two days of practice this week due to the hamstring injury he suffered in last Sunday’s win over the 49ers, but head coach Todd Bowles said that Egbuka was able to get in a limited practice. Bowles said that the team will make a game-time decision on Egbuka’s status for Monday night’s game against the Lions.
