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.
