Hopefully this is not anything too serious as apparently he has looked quite good in training camp and pre-season so far.
Think most teams who didn't play their starters for the first game played them in game 2. Wonder if any will play them next week in Week 3? 2 weekends before the first real game, so time to heal if something happens.
I assume most HC have already decided who is playing in Week 3 game. And if they planned on resting the starters, they would have given them extra work in week 2, to ensure that they got live action and had 3 weeks to recover for the rest test.
I believe now, there is a mass cutdown period, whereas in the past it was going from 90 to 75, to 65 or something, then the final cuts to 53 man roster. Now teams have the extra bodies around to use them in the final game if they don't plan on using any starters.

Should’ve drafted Makar
This is also an defender letting Tua go instead of tackling him into the ground. Very smart play by the pass rusher to recognize the ball is gone and not avoid any sort of roughing the passer call.

Wonder if Tua gets some favorable calls, because the NFL definitely doesn't want to see his brains get scrambled on a borderline hit.

Really liked what I saw from Purdy last night. Doesn't seem to have any ill effects from the surgery, and he was efficient. I just read that Shanahan wants to play him some again in the third game. I'm worried for the worst, but you also want to get into football shape. I just know in other years you deal with a rash of injuries in the early going and I wonder if that is just lack of playing in the preseason. I wonder if there is a study or stat to back that up.
Camp isn’t what it used to be. So when you ramp up to the real season it’s a major shift in intensity and stress on the body which is not used to it yet. That’s why teams are always worried during the first 3-5 days of camp of soft tissue no contact injuries.

My user name and my online name everywhere came from the Stern show , but Hank the angry drunken dwarf is kinda long.
ACL for him. Dallas lost 2 guys to ACL tears. Sucks. Lumen field has not been kind in their past few dates for the NFL. Brooks tore his ACL in their final home game vs the Rams and now 2 Cowboys players tear their ACL in pre-season game 2 in Seattle.
Dallas uses turf as well, so can't really complain too much if you also use the stuff. A grass field, team, yeah, have more weight to any gripes about field surfaces.

It's cold enough I had to wear jeans today and now Buck and Aikman are calling a MNF game tonight. Fall is coming.

That's it. The Ravens preseason win streak is over. The sun will burn out before we see that happen again.

Thank god I don't have to read Schefter tweet about their winning streak ever again.
