Hopefully, there are minimal serious injuries to starters during camp/pre-season.

Chi vs Hou. Guessing Stroud won't be taking a snap. Even back when they had 4 pre-season games, the HOF game wasn't something you'd play a starter in. Too early to put them out there.

They really should make the hall of fame game just one of the games instead of its own week.

Or at least not have an extra game for the teams involved. This should be one of their 3 pre season games.

It is fine if it’s like the kickoff of pre season. But it should not be a full week before any other pre season game if that is how it is setup currently.

RB Kenyan Drake announces retirement from NFL

Running back Kenyan Drake announced his retirement from the NFL on social media following eight seasons in the league.

Quite an accomplishment for a 3rd round pick to last 7 years, much less a running back lasting 7 years. When he was a sophomore I thought he was going to be a superstar, but a badly broken leg set him back, which makes it more amazing he had the career he had.

Both LA teams not letting the Raiders promote their training camp in Southern California.

Have either team ever had an issue with Dallas holding camp at Oxnard, CA? Or applied these same restrictions to the Cowboys? But, I get it as for the chargers, it's their divisonal rivals and for the Rams, they know Raiders are a big brand in SoCal.

Guess whoever was WR5 and 6 going into camp will have more opportunities to showcase themselves with Aiyuk contract situation and pearsoll injury. Deebo and Jennings are the other 2 top 4 WR.

A few teams are wearing specially designed skull caps over practice caps. Which are over regular helmets

What are doing here?

Every team wears them for practice. They are called guardian caps. They are padded, soft shelled layers designed to reduce impact.

Yeah but what I’m saying is a few teams now have skull caps over those guardian caps

Maybe it keeps the guardian caps in better condition.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

It's because they're allowed to wear them in games now if they want too.

 

[GKJ]

They should just build them into the helmets

Canadian and ex-CFL talent has never looked stronger than right now. Yes, maybe no elite superstars on this. But some quality starters peppered throughout. Still obviously lacking much in proven NFL talent at some key positions like QB, WR, T, OLB, DE but this is miles ahead of where it was even 5-10 years ago. Game continues to grow bigger north of the border.

Anyways this was just for fun for me to kill some time (and to plan my next Madden team haha).
