Even though it's a preseason game... i'm ready for Jaylon and Sean to be on the field together.

I'm hoping Dak,Cole and Dez and the rest of the crew are there as well for at least a quarter or so.

Any news on if Switzer is going to play?

Switzer is not playing, re-injured hammy.
How's that possible?

Supposedly never had a hamstring issue before. We've got like 10 guys out with hamstrings.

Are we doing something different?
I'd like to know what Switzer did at UNC that was different.

I am excited about Jaylon's premier and yet, really nervous about it...I ope that he does well, of course, and gets his feet wet, but I don't want to see him much

Its frustrating. Especially for the young guys. They need the reps and development. We seem to be a long way from the days where "you can't make the club from the tub" was commonplace (and common sense).

That said-- this is these guy's livelihood and training camp and preseason injuries prevent them from potentially earning big $$$. Being overly cautious with your body and limiting your risk is a good way to protect your assets. My guess is that the players are less willing to risk personal injury than ever before and the coaches are more protective with their roster than ever before.

Add those two together and you get a culture where a minor tweak/pull results in weeks on the sideline and limited work (at least as far as the media can see lol) until the games matter and real money is on the line.

Where does it say Switzer is injured again?
Yeah. I haven't seen it either other than here.

Did hear a podcast saying they'd likely be cautious and hold him out because his hamstring "isn't right"
Didn't say it was another injury.
