“I am a huge Derek Barnett fan. He will be missed. It sucks. I hate it for this team. I can’t tell you how much I think of Derek.” Barnett tore his ACL during the team’s Week 1 win over the Lions and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

“We have some good options there,” Sirianni said. “Tarron wasn’t up yesterday, but how quickly can it turn from you not being up for a game to you having a significant role.
