I think we can still win if he can give us 3 or 4 good plays and I think there is value in his being a decoy.......I am more concerned today, though, than I was yesterday that he is going to be able to function well. I hope with Kelly back that Mack and the running game can pick up some of the load.

TY's ankle injury occurred during Week 14. How I read the quote was that Reich thought that TY might have rested in 1 or 2 games since Week 14 if the games were earlier in the season. In Week 15 vs Dallas, TY had 5 receptions for 85 yards. In Week 16 vs NYG, he had 7 receptions for 138 yards.

He is just gutting out these performances on game day with little to no practice in between.

Reich had another quote after the Giants game that Holder had 2 tweets about:
