Lattimore, PJ Williams, and Trevor Siemian returned to practice. (1 Viewer)

All those injuries. And it's just week 1.

It's not unique to us. All teams are getting it (except the really lucky ones). NFL really needs to increase roster size.

These athletes are pushing the physical limits more than ever before. Throw in COVID, and I believe NFL needs to significantly increase roster size. But they won't. They greedier owners will out-vote the more decent ones.

Owners response "Hey, let's add another game to the schedule!"

Yeah, they don't make ballplayers like City Champ anymore. What's more, teams probably wouldn't allow a player to return to action that fast after a bad car wreck. Too much emphasis on money these days.

Ricky had a special facemask made with extra bars to where it almost looked like a solid shield, and from what I can recall, he missed one game after breaking his face in the accident. No way they let a player come back like that these days.

Yeah shortened mini camps, restrictions on contact, shortened preseason.
You cannot expect the body to be able to stand the rigors of game speed without several months of prep.
This is the result.
The NFL opted to shorten preseason and lighten hitting practice to SAVE the players for regular season. After that who cares thats on the teams then

Huge mistake

Lattimore practicing is surprising. You guys think he plays Sunday?

That man is a machine! I was sure he would miss at least 2 weeks. Yes, I think he will play. Wow!

 

[hankster2]

Or when he broke his face in a car accident, was expected to miss six games and came back after two! He was a tuff madre frocker!

If memory serves he was expected to be out for 6 weeks and was back after 2. When the press asked him about it he said "I'm a fast healer".

 

[Taker597]

Did Colston broke his collarbone and was only out a week?

 

[senorwinces]

Any idea why Davenport is listed with a shoulder injury rather than chest/pec?

 

[rail]

So Turner good to go?

 

[Madmarsha]

Pete Werner. Darn spell check

I have to be honest, i still don't know. Lol

 

[Saint Taysom]

So Turner good to go?

Turner was G2G last week and was apparently a healthy inactive. I get that the Saints had a bunch of depth at DE at that time… but that’s still a weird look for a 1st round pick.

 

[saint_drago]

I see Panthers playing a short area quick passing game a lot and trying to test our LB sideline to sideline range

If that's their plan I think they'll find our guys will be up to the challenge.

 

[abnrgr]

Panthers RT Moton added to injury report. Could be a big hit to their offensive line.

 

[Quiet Storm]

What is the word on Kwon? They just resting his Achilles?

I'll go with rest. I see us doing that with him all year long. He didn't play in the preseason and looked great in week 1.

Just about to ask the same thing.
