If he got a concussion, which seemed likely when his head hit the ground on that last hit before he went out, I would think his coming back would depend on the severity. But not being back after 2 weeks, again if a concussion is involved, probably means it's severe enough that I think it's unlikely he'll be back this season. Way too much risk for a young man with a potentially bright future.

Seems the depth of our RB room (probably the deepest position group we have) is going to be tested the rest of the season.

Indeed he did, and I've given him the credit he deserves for it ad nauseum on this board
He was 10000 % the right man for the job in 2019; and arguably, the only guy (outside of Saban or Vince Lombardi) who could have built, then rebuilt, our program

Unfortunately though, he is still stuck in his old ways
Reminds me a lot of Kirk Ferenz - great man, knows D, decent coach, guys play hard, churns out NFL talent... but consistently shits the bed when it counts

I don't believe he's the guy to take us to the promised land
I'd love to be wrong, and would gladly come here to eat crow if I am - but I just don't see it w/him

The 98 Yankees had Jeter, Posada, Tino, O'Neill. Knoblauch, Bernie....and Strawberry, Raines, and Chili Davis.
Plus a great starting rotation and Mariano as the closer.
I could have won managing with that talent.

No pass rush and zone D equals completion after completion for an accurate, on time QB.

Boone isn't the problem. He goes by the playbook the nerds in the analytics room force feed him. Cashman and the nerds are the entire problem. Strikeouts and lack of fundamental skills is fine with them as long as the Yankees lead the league in home runs.
Back in 1998 when Cashman was elevated to GM but Joe Torre still ran the team, from the dugout and on the field, it was old fashioned baseball. Make your plate appearances count, drive up the pitching count and strike outs were not the equivalent to any other out.

1998 stats
WAR 39.4
PA - 6444
AB - 5643
Hits - 1625
HR - 207
SO - 1013
Avg - .289

2024 stats
WAR 30.3
PA - 6245
AB - 5450
AB - 1352
Hits - 1352
HR - 237
SO - 1326
Avg - .248

So Cashman analytics increased home runs by 30 but destroyed every other offensive category!!

If the two weeks off didn't help Kyle heal I doubt we'll see him again this season.
Good luck in the NFL, KM.

Hearing Kyle and Bailey are out has made me depressed.

Somebody give me some hope.
