Saturday open thread: Who should replace Kenny Golladay, if necessary?

Kenny Golladay’s status in this game quickly nosedived as the week went on. According to head coach Matt Patricia, Golladay suffered a hamstring injury during Wednesday’s practice, but he seemed to downplay it on Thursday morning.

Flash forward 48 hours and Golladay has now missed two consecutive practices completely and is listed as doubtful. Meanwhile, Patricia has changed his tune a little bit.

“We’re trying to prevent them from being long-term type of soft-tissue injuries,” Patricia said. “So even if we get guys that are tight, that may be on the milder side, maybe a seven-, 10-, 14-day type stuff, we’re trying to prevent the four-week type of injury there.
