      I must have missed that we lost another TE last week. We just can’t keep tight ends on the field.

      Is it just a string of bad luck or is there something in our scheme that is exposing them to injury more than usual?

      Bad luck.
      Tight Ends are SUPPOSED to be ridden hard. I mean, they’re an extension of the OL.
      I can’t think of anything in a scheme that would open up a TE to injury more often than otherwise.

      I’m guessing it’s just bad luck. Hopefully Moeai and Handley can stay healthy. It really sucks to lose Fakailoatonga but luckily our other TEs are pretty beastly. There’s been a lot of good reports about Hekking as well.

      Siale has a history.  I heard Whittingham say this is the second time he’s torn this particular ACL (he tore it once before in high school I believe).  Last year he tore the other one.
