Injury updates on Kalil, Bell, Davis, and Beason

Because the OP was too lazy:

DAVIS, BEASON MAKING PROGRESS: Linebacker Thomas Davisicon-article-link.gif, who is working an injured calf back to full strength, practiced extensively Sunday afternoon.

“Thomas practiced an awful lot today, the most he’s practiced (in a while),” Rivera said. “I was pretty excited to see him on the football field. Probably the biggest thing we got out of today was watching Thomas run around.”

Jon Beasonicon-article-link.gif, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, did not participate Sunday, but Rivera said he hopes to have the middle linebacker back on the practice field Wednesday. There is a chance Beason will make his preseason debut Sunday against the Jets.

“If he has a good couple of days, hopefully, we’ll see him on Sunday,” Rivera said.

OTHER INJURY NOTES: Rivera said center Ryan Kalilicon-article-link.gif and tackle Byron Bellicon-article-link.gif, who were checked out after getting stepped on in Friday’s game against the Dolphins, suffered no injuries. Both practiced Sunday.

Rivera also confirmed that the calf injury running back Jonathan Stewarticon-article-link.gif suffered is not serious.

Wide receiver Steve Smithicon-article-link.gif was given the day off due to a sore foot.

Additionally, linebackers Kenny Onatoluicon-article-link.gif and Jason Williamsicon-article-link.gif did not practice Sunday. Onatolu, who suffered a hamstring injury against the Dolphins, is a long shot to play against the Jets, according to Rivera.

Williams hyperextended his elbow in the game but Rivera is hopeful he’ll be back later in the week.

great news to hear across the board.

if our 1's do to the jets what they did to the dolphins we should sit them early, maybe even before the second quarter hits. give the backups reps and prevent any further minor first stringer injuries. if the guys seem to have the rust shaken off no point in keeping them out there.

So - do you guys want to see Beason on Sunday against the Jets? For selfish reasons, I want to see him out there, even for limited snaps, just to see him at game speed, then pull him out and don't play him against the Steelers in the meaningless fourth preseason game.

I know many will say sit him until week one, but I would like him to get some game action before then.

Yea I'd like to see him in there for a bit but pull him early. Get him cutting and hitting some just to get a feel for the game but don't risk anything with him. Might be a good idea to slide Kuechly inside after pulling him just to acclimate him to both positions.

Hell to the naw. I selfishly wanted him to play the first regular season game last season and looked where that ended up.

Even if he is a little rusty in Tampa Bay, it'll be better than risking a prolonged hammy injury in the preseason.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
