Not f you listen to some in the media and some on message boards. Death is imminent...
Place him in a protective bubble until the coin flip of the Raiders game.
 
Yes, we need to see what our likely bottom 3 corners can do. Jones and Austin are coming back from injuries as usual.

James seems a good shot to make the team as the backup NB.

Dial and Bolden seem to be fighting it out for the 6th spot, if we have one, being the #4 outside and a STer.
============
Agreed. Keep an eye on DJ James as well another undrafted guy who's having a great camp. He can play outside and inside. Feeling like the depth at CB will be Austin, James, dial.. Bolden seems to be dropped down the depth chart.

Just be sure Costanza is not around.

 
Lame hammy feels like an avoidable injury - get Gonzo on Brady's stretching/yoga routine ASAP. Disappointing start to the year for the Patriots' best player.
 
So there is a downside to this. And I'm sorry to be a downer but I can't help but be realistic. That downside being our WRs don't get to play against a truly legit guy till Davis is back. I like Alex and others, but let's not pretend there isn't separation there between our top 2 and the rest. These WRs benefit a great deal going against someone of that caliber

Now I know you can turn around and say it's good for our CBs depth to play our top WRs, but that benefit is incredibly mild at the moment. Diggs is the best guy on this team and he not kicking it into high gear yet. So really the difference between getting to play our #1 vs #4 isn't that big at the moment. If Polk, Baker and Chism continue to make plays really I don't see much benefit for the CBs who are likely to make this team. Maybe it's good for ones 7th or 8th down the list, but who cares about them?

If we had a guy like Chase you could more easily make that case. Our 3 4 and 5 getting more reps against someone like that could be good. But that is not this.
 
I was at the practice when this happened, he came limping to the sidelines and then hit the turf clutching the back of his leg and after the training staff attended to him they carted him off.
Soft tissue injuries have a way of lingering and reoccurring, they will have to watch him closely.
 
Grade 1 is a micro tear but it's possible that hamstring may never be 100% this season.
 



I don't buy it. Both played by Jaleel White.
