 We built a strong D-line and O-line recently. Maybe it's time to invest highly in other positions. |

 They were talking about this today on NFL Network. Teams are sitting players with the most minor of dings just to make sure they have players ready on day one. You get a hangnail and your out until week one. That way you get to see more of the backups. Teams aren't wanting to take any chances with starters if not necessary is what they were saying. |

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
Well, we now know there was nothing minor about Alvin Kamara's knee, and Payton now has a consistent history of understating player injuries...

Things like severity on injuries should only be shared on a need to know basis and, regardless of how irritating, we as fans have no "need" to know. "Want" to know, yes. "Need" to know, no.

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
But injury disclosure is required by the league so as to prevent NFL coaches, personnel from being compromised by shadier organized criminal gambling operations...
In addition, the argument that As do most NFL coaches if you haven't noticed was also the same argument used defending the Saints clubhouse teammate pool... Brian Urlacher even admitted to it on NFL Radio as did the Redskins' safety at the time the Goodell BountyGate Beatdown went down... |

Oh, by the way, Kamara's knee WAS reported on the injury report ... Kade Kistner November 6, 2019 5:23 pm ET The New Orleans Saints will host the Atlanta Falcons in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday in a Week 10 NFC South matchup. This will be the first matchup of the season for the two bitter rivals. The initial injury reports published by the Saints and the Jaguars on Wednesday are the initial reports for the week. A second, updated report will be released on Thursday. The final injury report with game status for certain players will be issued on Friday. Daily changes in practice participation are noted in bold text. Running back Alvin Kamara has been absent from the lineup after injuring his ankle (during practice in Week 5) and then his knee (against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6). After two games of rest, and the bye week, Kamara should be ready to go. Tight end Jared Cook will be another playmaker to keep tabs on as the week progresses. Cook has been absent for the last two games the Saints have played, and should return to the lineup on Sunday. From the Saints TE Jared Cook (Ankle) Full WR Tre’Quan Smith (Ankle) Full QB Drew Brees (Rt. Thumb) Full CB Patrick Robinson (Hamstring) Limited RB Alvin Kamara (Knee/Ankle) Limited TE Josh Hill (Calf) Limited From the Falcons RB Ito Smith (Neck) Did not participate DE John Cominsky (Ankle) Did not participate G James Carpenter (Knee) Limited QB Matt Ryan (Ankle) Limited CB Desmond Trufant (Toe) Limited G Jamon Brown (Foot) Limited G Wes Schweitzer (Head) Limited TE Jaden Graham (Knee) Limited |
