Were the Saints reporting his injuries, compliantly??? Don't want those SOBs at the League Office creating unnecessary distractions...

JP,

That is concerning for me. IIRC Bobby Hebert asked about Larry's absence from OTA's and all we got from Payton was "he's training, rehabbing. He will be out sooner than later".

Those "undisclosed" injuries scare the hell out of me

... even in June.

Officially, the National Football League does not require teams' disclosure of injuries outside of regular season, post-season games (where gambling is involved)...

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) privacy rights were waived by the NFLPA (NFL Players' Union) in the NFL CBA (NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement)...

Get not showing your hand (always think back to 70s movie M*A*S*H and The Longest Yard where the teams make it a point to get x-rays of pre-existing injuries while scouting, exploiting same), but

what concerns me is players start spilling beans in social media about last season injuries that were less than reported, published (e.g. Davenport turf toe); that cracks the team's door to the league office...

Specifically with Warford, he's missed a few games/season except for his rookie year, only grading with PFF over 80 twice - his outstanding 84.9 rookie year (best to date) and 80.3 his contract year in DET...

Of the games Warford's missed, they've been against some pretty impressive DTs - so that's the biggest flag for me...
