Rookie sensation wide receiver Emeka Egbuka battled a hamstring issue in the past three games. His game clearly suffered. After a red hot start, Egbuka caught just 9 balls for 117 yards and no touchdowns in that stretch.
He needed a bye week. He got one, and today head coach Todd Bowles said Egbuka practiced at “full-speed.”
That’s fantastic news. “He looked like his normal self,” Bowles said.
It’s been hard enough for Egubka to operate as a No. 1 receiver taking on double teams. Doing that injured is a monumental task and he did it reasonably well; Baker Mayfield missed key throws in Egbuka’s direction.
Joe’s expecting a strong game from Egbuka on Sunday against the Patriots at The Licht House.
