    Not sure on the severity.

    Agreed these young kids need all the time they can get.
    Lafell has been dinged up and missed some time as well from what I've read.
    Hopefully it doesn't keep him out long.

    edwards, pilares, and nanee are the most intriguing receivers to me.

    I have a bad taste in my mouth from 2010 from clausen, lafell, and gettis. blech.

    All I can verify:

    -injured L knee earlier in session
    -hung out on field, near a tent, during practice
    -drove past after practice on back of cart--no ice on either knee
    -rivera had nothing to say that would shed new light

    Suppose by Friday, if not tomorrow, media can report something more official.

    I have the opposite from that last 3, especially the receivers. They're more prototype, having the size. I mean, I know JC doesn't have a future here, but I think they can all give more.

    It doesnt sound like a ligament tear based on reports of him standing around etc. Lets hope for a sprain.

    I'm wondering which of these young WR end up "injured" since they will probably not all make the opening day roster.

    1- Smitty
    2- Naanee (Or however the f you spell it)
    3- Then a log jam of Gettis (showed some ability last year), Lafell (used a high pick on), Edwards (basically as seconr round pick value with shown improvement), Pilares (rookie this year that will be scooped up if on PS), that's not counting Wright, Martin, etc. That can also contribute on special teams.
