The “loss” of Kevin White, if you can actually be said to lose something you never had, will have obvious ripple effects, both during his absence and even when/if he returns this season, since he will be far back on any learning curve for rookie wide receivers.
The all-too-obvious upshot is the underscoring of the importance of offensive coordinator Adam Gase making good his and John Fox’s stated commitment to running the football. That was going to happen anyway, but consider it a survival skill now, with simple things like a return to health of the offensive line and someone to share the carries load with Matt Forte.
