Twitter: Tyron Smith leaves practice with an injury

[Plankton]

Whew -- that was really worrisome! Sure good to hear he's okay . . .

Does anyone happen to know what's ailing La'el Collins?

The fear of God put into him by Pace Murphy.

It doesn't matter who's out, people will still call this an Elite OL.

Definitely better than most. If Tyron was out that is a big hit but still a top 10 O line.

 

[lostar2009]

Aldon Smith must been putting that work on him

 

[AsthmaField]

Yeah. They’re reporting that Tyron is fine.

Whew!

 

[fivetwos]

In turn my back for an HOUR to maybe pay attention to what puts food on the table and I come back to THIS?

WTH?

 

[Jfconrow]

One of my fears is they just don’t have enough beef on the lines both offense and defense. That could make for a horrible season, where Dak doesn’t have enough time to get the ball to the playmakers and teams can run the ball all day.

Williams needs to get kicked out to LT if for no other reason but to see what we have there.

The backup option cant be Knight or Hyatt.

I realize Erving is the eventual backup, but man this could derail big plans quickly.

 

[Bullflop]

Reporting that he is OK.

Yeah, thanks -- I just looked it up on Google and it said he's OK. Good news for sure, all around!
Last thing we need on this team would be to lose both tackles . . . whew! Now, I'm happy again!!

 

[khiladi]

Excuses ready for Dak..

 

[Hennessy_King]

This team is so used to be being babied by Garrett in TC they are now faking injuries. I don't think anything irritated me more than the constant vet days off under the garrett regime.

We need our O line in there to actually give the D line some real work.

this is the time of year a hangnail gets looked at with X-rays and MRIs

has not had a complete year since 2015

I thought Knight was supposed to be pretty good, according to what he did in a backup role last year . . .

 

[cern]

this is to be expected with smith. we've seen it off and on over the past several years. la'el has similar back problems which occurred last year and flared up again just before camp.

 

[CowboyRoy]

LOL.........If Smith is out, might as well mail it in for any hope of having a great season.

 

[glimmerman]

I hope it’s not Tyron’s back. I think if it was regular season these guys could go. We will hold them out for little things. We need to get backups in there to get work anyways.

Thinking that was at RT.

I just dont wanna feel like its season over if Tyron goes down and I kinda do right now.

Maybe its because of the Atlanta debacle, which was just inexcusable by any professional coaching staff yet somehow got excused.

In that case we are probably a better team with McG at LG and Williams at LT but we dont yet know this. I'd like to find out before it automatically becomes Erving at LT, who has had a very up and down career.

Again, while the McCoy situation was awful, Tyron is way higher on the list of people we didnt want that to happen to.

In fact he may be in the top 2-3.

Yes, it was at right tackle . . . he might not be suited to playing the left side -- that quite possible, to be sure.

the packers won the super bowl with the majority of their starting o-line on ir. mac's a good coach.
