The move means Siliga is not eligible to practice again for at least six weeks, and will be eligible to return to games after eight weeks if healthy.
That’s a bummer and could hurt the run defense, especially with upcoming games against teams with strong ground games. But in the long haul, stopping the run is most important once the weather starts getting colder, so if Siliga is back and ready to go around Thanksgiving, he should be a good boost for the stretch run.

The first is the protection issue, because let’s face it, Brady isn’t taking any seven-step drops and launching it downfield when his tackles are playing like crap. Second is Brady isn’t exactly a pinpoint deep thrower anyway.
If the OL can get it together and Brady trusts him I don’t see why Dobson shouldn’t be a guy to take some shots to. But Tyms certainly isn’t going to solve the problem by himself.
