Yeah. I hope it is just sore and this is a  precaution. We have made it through camp without any meaningful players getting serious injuries so that would suck.

Not to mention missing one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.

Can you imagine the first game without DJ, Robbie, Burns,...Haynes...he is important also, y'all Kno he is

It'll be like losing to the jets while becoming the new jets...

And the question about having joint practice over preseason game reps becomes another question, did that contribute, 4hrs of tough scrimmage vs a half of a preseason game

I have no concerns about DJ or Robbie. Haynes hurts but he is a rotational guy on a deep unit. A loss but not nearly the impact Burns would be.

You are jumping to some conclusions that aren't really likely at the moment.

There is always attrition. Pride was the only major injury so far and he was looking like a long shot to make the roster anyway.

Haynes hurts but we have no idea about the injury yet nor it's severity. Same with Burns. The rest seem to be largely just guys getting a little dinged up.

Didn't Burns have shoulder surgery this off-season?

I think there are only 3 teams that have elected to stack back to back weeks scrimmaging other teams in this preseason game schedule.  

Panthers, Jets, and Eagles.  But the other two are using the back end of the preseason schedule. 

Rhule and company are brand new at managing a real preseason schedule.  It was all cancelled last year.   Could be decent odds he might not do this again.   I'm sure when all is said and done....he will take a lot from his first preseason.  He probably will end up echoing similar things Ron did about the value of former NFL coaches being on the team.

On his shoulder, yes. It might just be sore.

I'm going to be very interested in the game, and to the huddle's reaction when Darnold throws his first incompletion.  This place will turn into a madhouse.

Nothing like watching the Panthers, win/ lose, it didn't matter for the first game, why, because we were just excited to see our team on the field...

I for one was very happy to see PJ get his reps, just like some that wanted more from Grier will get their opportunity Saturday, 

And although I kid about Darnold I would like to see if he could prove me wrong....

Or prove me right and it doesn't cost my team a game....

@Zod and the Huddle servers if he throws a pick on his first attempt

And the reaction from the naysayers here if he throws a TD pass and ruins their narrative :

Like I've already told you, I'll be thrilled if Sam proves me wrong and is the answer. But I'm not going to engage in mental gymanstics to try to convince myself that it's likely.
