Thank God teams get a chance to rest their starters this week after a grueling preseason.
I got a chuckle out of this post. But keep in mind there is some truth mixed in. As an example, one of our top draft picks was injured in practice. Every day isn't a "walk through".

Gannon updates on Darius Robinson and Zay Jones suspension situation:
Robinson will miss time but Gannon said he wasn’t going to put a timeline on it.
Team knew something could happen with Jones. Feels WR depth can handle Jones absence.
I assume today the team will put a timeline of sorts on DR as we cut to 53.

sounds about right. But with our personnel we can easily cover for not having Jones for a month



dont get me wrong...missing a guy suxx...but losing zay jones for 5 weeks will have a minimal impact on our offense IMHO

I think Jones was mainly going to be a big bodied 3rd down slot that didn't mind getting piled by a safety.

I don't think we have a good alternative but you're right, we can live without it for 5 weeks.

Jones is insurance for when Michael Wilson goes down. Surely Wilson will make it to week 6.

Okwara had a visit not a workout as previously reported

Correct that: it was a visit, not a tryout for Okwara. Also, Cowboys had tryouts with LB Tyus Bowser, RB Dalvin Cook. Bills had visit with QB Mike White, Jaguars with G Nouredin Nouili

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon on new practice squad addition and pass rusher Julian Okwara:"He can rush, set a violence edge, a little bit of drop, football character is good. Excited to get him here and add him to the program."

I didn’t have a problem with Mitch. He was no better or worse than any of us.
I didn't have a problem with his goofy posts when he went off the rails. As you say, no better nor worse than any of us. It's when he went unhinged when people didn't take his goofy posts seriously that sucked.

truth

Mitch’s issues with members of this board was of his own making as you imply.
