Let's see if this gets as much press as Hardy missing a meeting.

Was he medically cleared to play? IF so, why was he not starting?

Sounds like it was sort of like Roethlisberger last week. He could have played if needed because of others getting injured, but they would rather not play him if they didn't have to.

I take his side, considering your career could be over in the blink of an eye. What is his incentive to play, if he is not 100%?

I don't really have an opinion on Peters and whether or not he should have played. Just find it interesting that it is a non-story so far.

I'm assuming he was medically cleared. His coach wanted him to suit up and the team is paying him to play. That, to me, is incentive enough.

I imagine he was afraid SUH might line up against him.
