Akiem Hicks leaves Wednesday's practice with knee injury

Injuries (serious and minor) happen every training camp. I am encouraged that the players are walking off on their own, not being carted off with what appears to be a serious knee injury like Panthers' Kelvin Benjamin earlier today.

Amen. I don't wish injuries on any player. Hopefully Kelvin only has a sore or bruised knee.

True.

And I'm growing tired of the knee-jerk panic every time one of our players gets knicked up.

Its freaking football Nancy.

This ain't badminton.

Nice thought but disagree. I think any of our guys going down with a knee injury should stay the heck down until they receive so much help they place absolutely zero additional stress on their knee.

Think of how many times you've seen a guy walk off on his own power only to hear later he completely tore his ACL. I believe partial tears became worse or complete tears as they stressed it during that proud walk.

Like sand in the gears...rub, rub, saw, rip. Stay down already and heal a few days/weeks/months earlier for it.
