Brought to Jacksonville as an Urban Meyer guy, Hyde saw a mind-boggling amount of playing time early in the 2021 season, sometimes ahead of James Robinson, who was not an Urban Meyer guy. Robinson eventually seized the every-down role after Hyde struggled and was placed on injured reserve with a concussion. Thirty-two in September, it's hard to see a team signing Hyde as anything more than a training camp body. Look for the Jags to continue cleaning up the team's roster after a year of mismanagement from Meyer and his staff. 

It likely spells the end of Hyde's season after he was recruited to overtake James Robinson by Urban Meyer. Hyde suffered a concussion in the team's Week 14 loss to Tennessee and most recently sat out Sunday’s loss to Houston. He'll finish with 253 yards on 72 carries along with 12 catches for 65 yards.

Hyde has a concussion suffered during last week's game and was ruled out on Friday. Brandon Linder will return to the starting lineup today after missing Week 14 to a back injury. Myles Jack and Josh Allen are also both active for the 2-11 grudge match against the Texans. 

Hyde wasn't able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol this week. His absence should be a boon for James Robinson against one of the league's worst rush defenses. Interim head coach Darrell Bevell said Thursday that Robinson is the team's starter and "will be played as such." Using Robinson as a workhorse would be a nice way to cleanse the team of disgraced former coach Urban Meyer's ineptitude and inexplicable usage of Robinson for much of this season. Everything points to Robinson seeing a heavy workload against a Texans defense allowing the league's highest expected points added (EPA) per rush this year. Robinson could release the Kraken against Houston.
