My big southern animal Isaiah Crowell ain't got time for no injuries. Injuries make you weak. Injuries are for cowards. Injuries are for washin blood off my uniform and you don't get no blood on my uniform! Boy, you must be OUT. SIDE. YO. MIND. We will do up downs until West and Winston are no longer tired.....and injured!

Sorry, the Denzel just took over. I blacked out for a second (no pun intended).

Where are these guys coming from? Fresh camp cuts or UFA leftovers from off-season?

Gotta be off the scrap heap, eh?......looks like he played a lot for the Titans a couple seasons ago and plays both inside and out....

still.....he's a 7 year vet that has yet to stick anywhere......

Tour2ma

Yeah... seems like a lot of churning with the prop digging into the river bottom...

In his latest interview vid Fleury was talking about concerns that lack of available depth at OLB would force him to play "set" players, specifically Reilly, more than he'd like to come Thursday nite...

Looks like Fokou is going to see action late vs. WSH.

Tim Couch Pulls Out

Thomas left practice with an injured leg.

Here is a nice little tidbit from today's TC by Kevin Jones:

"Justin Gilbert had one of the most athletic interceptions in all of training camp. Quarterback Connor Shaw tried to fit in a pass near the sidelines, and Gilbert hung in the air like he was dunking a basketball to secure the pick. Pettine said Gilbert could possibly return some kicks in the preseason."

MKC was on the Bull & Fox Show this afternoon.

When asked about the seriousness of Joe Thomas' injury, she replied that the team Dr's decided to not even send him for an MRI.

Which leads me to believe, it's pretty minor.
