Crowder has been calling defensive signals in his absence. After watching his team lose three straight games, Carolina coach Matt Rhule has been clear this week that he wants his team to run the football 30 or more times. McKinney, 28, was a second-round pick by the Houston Texans. He played in 80 games for the Texans, starting 77, and made the Pro Bowl in He is coming off the finest year of his career and the first in which he matched his best play in coverage with his best play against the run in the same season.
Ragland is a quality veteran and Tae Crowder certainly had his moments as a rookie, but the remaining depth consists of Devante Downs, T. Brunson and Cale Garrett — not exactly a group than instills much confidence. But who knows how the season will shake out.
