When do we start to wonder about Melton?

[perrykemp]

I'm reasonably confident Melton plays in Game 1 and plays well, but when you take a step back and look at some of the players the team is/was relying on this year on defense it's pretty scary:

• Sean Lee (ended 2013 on IR, will be on IR for all of 2014) - ACL
• Crawford (ended 2013 on IR) - Torn Achilles
• Spencer (ended 2013 on IR and is very iffy to return) - ACL (or was it?)
• Melton (ended 2013 on IR) - ACL
• Durant (ended 2013 on IR)
• Clairborne -- Did he finish 2013 on IR?

Obviously, I am glad they are going conservative with him, but apparently, he is behind schedule on rehab. If he is unable to participate in minicamp, are you concerned? If he misses preseason games, what then?

No because he was not expect back until training camp. If he ends up missing camp then it will be a concern. That is around 2 months from now.
