Nothing unusual here.  Extended contract holdout and soft tissue injury.  It's not serious but it seriously complicates his chances of being a starter in week 1 and I doubt he'll play this weekend.  I think we'll see Kwiatkoski as the starter against GB, perhaps with Roquan subbed in for 3rd and long situations.

That's sound about right.  It's unfortunate but it's our reality. 

It happens.  At least it was just tightness.  Lovie would have had him play through it till out popped.

...and Trestman would have given him a month off.  Nagy finds a middle ground and says he's "hour to hour".

i wanna like this too!

That was always the number one concern. Just like Bosa last year. You can't get into football shape in a week when everyone else has been gradually getting into shape over the last month. Pretty disappointing considering Floyd's and Hicks' injuries.
