- “It's not often that the return of a rookie third-round pick is as anticipated as Douglas being back against the Jets ... it's also probably not fair to expect big numbers from Douglas right away after he missed three games with an ankle injury (Week 7 vs. the Jets)” — [Alain Poupart](https://missedtakes.co/pundits/alain-poupart), for 2026, said Oct 25, 2026; not settled yet — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/16377672-eaa5-45db-a06e-bb3de7ab66a3
