Dante Fowler spent most of last year dealing with injuries, ones that limited him to 14 games and took a bite out of his usually fearsome speed. He ended 2020 with a career-low 3 sacks, but he was bouncing back nicely in the early going here in 2021, having put up 2 sacks already, forcing two fumbles and leading the team in pressures in the first five games of the season.
Unfortunately, injury is once again going to take a bite out of a season for Fowler. We already knew he’d be missing Sunday’s game against the Dolphins, but now it looks like he’ll be going on injured reserve.
