It’s been a strange 12 months for Fletcher Cox. He had a career-season in 2018, amassing 10.5 sacks and was able to reach that milestone despite a total lack of depth around him. But in the playoff loss to New Orleans, he suffered a foot injury that required surgery and would keep him out the entire offseason.
The injury itself was naturally concerning. Would Cox be ready to go for week 1, or is depth going to be an issue again? Going into 2019, only Aaron Donald and Geno Atkins had racked up more pressures than Cox among all DT’s over the last three years.
