Officially a game time decision but just had thumb surgery. I’m guessing he’s going to be held out. I can’t believe he’s considered questionable. 

True story:

Last year as the pandemic was just starting to hit us hard and hospitals were filling up, I was training with my boss in my new position as sales trainer, which is done over Zoom. He was 74 and owing to a ladder fall a dozen years ago suffers chronic back pain and to that point had had 4 surgeries on his back. He's training me on a class that has only one student but his back is killing him. His doctor finally locates an outpatient facility to do the surgery in and he tells me he'll have surgery Wednesday and then we'll resume class Thursday. I don't say anything but in my head I'm thinking "Yeah you're 74 and this will be your fifth surgery, Zero chance you're teaching the next day." 

Thursday comes and all I can do as I sit there all day staring at the screen while my boss teaches this one guy, the thought running through my head is "Well I guess I'm never taking a sick day."

Moral of the story:  If my boss at 74 can come back to work one day after back surgery, I wouldn't underestimate what a professional athlete in his prime is capable of.  I agree it sounds crazy, but people will amaze you sometimes.

Ya pretty hard to play DB in a club. If he just had the surgery he’ll probably be out 4-6 weeks depending on the severity. 
 

Though it wouldn’t surprise me if the Payton sent him out there with a club to do some damage anywho.

yep, there's a picture of him out there on the interwebs showing him suited up at practice yesterday with a big cast on his hand.

Got a feeling he's going to play.

A club cast on a corner..... That will hamper his ability to tackle and intercept.... I'm Thinking DJ will be matched up on him all day.

      If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times).

      Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1.

      You aren't going to ever get him out of the equation. As he has stated previously, he believes it his right to make the final call on decisions.
