Let's assume he cannot practice for two weeks and is kept out of the Hawaii game as a precaution which feels likely.
Mekari will replace him and/or replace Moore and Moore will shift to LT.
Mekari's great in pass protection - he might have some jitters given it will be his first start (he saw action in six games last year) yet he will hold up nicely IMO in pass protection.
Where we will lose something is with our run blocking. Cochran's size and leverage as a run blocker are hard to replace. Mekari's not yet the same run blocker that Aaron is today.
