"Fingers crossed," head coach Brian Daboll said of Thibodeaux’s recovery. "Hopefully his rehab goes well."
"Those are tough blocks," Daboll continued. "The blocks that are coming from across the line of scrimmage, within the tackle box. You've got to see it, then you got to do a great job of trying to play with your hands. So it’s unfortunate that KT went down. But that’s part of the game."
