Today's injury report at camp: Tight end Rico Gathers suffered a concussion after an inadvertent helmet to helmet collision with safety Kavon Frazier. Gathers and Frazier were going for a Cooper Rush pass and came together in the middle of the field. Gathers remained down for a little bit but was able to walk off the field. His status for Saturday's game is not clear.


If he is concussed I don't think he stands a chance of playing on Sat, which is a big loss for him. He needs every rep and bit of game time he can get.

It only sucks because we are trying to get Rico as much playing time as possible for him to continue to get better. The improvement in his blocking was noticeable from the Cards game to the Rams game largely in part because that Cards game gave him much needed experience.

But, we'll rest him for now and get him back into the fold. And hopefully Rush will throw a decent pass to him from now on.

Honestly I wish we could stash him on IR for the year. He's not going to ply much unless Swaim or Hanna get hurt but he won't make it back to the PS either

If he's on IR, he can't practice, right? If so, I would not want that

Staff will probably recommend decapitation...career is over

Who threw the ball to him? Whoever that was is at fault here and should be cut immediately

Too bad Moore didn't throw the pass. Never mind, it wouldn't have gotten to him if Moore threw it.
