It seems like every year a player loses time due to a non-contact injury in training camp. Guess we should get rid of practices, too.
2026 1st round pick #3 is Jeremiyah Love RB

This is an unserious post. What is this supposed to accomplish?
possibly damned if you do - likely unprepared if you don't - preseason is filled with guys with very little chance of seeing real nfl playing time - desperate people do desperate things
the philosophies surrounding preseason games are vast - you are both building confidence through reps and endangering your most important investments
i don't know if there's a right answer - logic says be most cautious with the most valuable but benjamin franklin said by failing to prepare you are preparing to fail
bisontis' knee got fell on while he was engaged in a block - luck is a four letter word that rhymes with ****
love was a different story imo - he is rb #1 - and we should have learned from last year how important rb #1 is - he should have came out with the starters
he should have only been playing against other starters - who all have something to lose - who are also out there TRYING NOT TO GET INJURED BUT NO
like i said i'm thankful it's just an ankle - but he never should have been tackled by someone still auditioning to make an nfl roster because they're going full freakin speed and giving 110%
someone shoulda told lafleur to yank the rookie

"The Cardinals are hopeful that Jeremiyah Love is gonna be back for week one against the Chargers..
He really wanted to go out there and show what he could against the Raiders..
Obviously he went a little too hard and hurt that ankle" ~

My guess is every coach, anonymously, want their guys to play. They have just come to accept this not playing them as the new way of this world.

Full game.
Oh, did I forget a sarcasm emoji. I know some around here are not fluent. Guys get hurt in practice, guys get hurt in preseason games, and guys get hurt in regular season games. It's laughable to think we can wrap these players in bubble wrap until the season starts and everything will be fine and dandy. First play on the field could end their season or even their career, but hey - at least they can say they got hurt when it mattered, right?

Who do you think is holding back these coaches from playing their guys? The GM? The players themselves?
These guys are all professionals and extremely aware of how short their careers are. I’m sure few of the guys who are established NFL players want to be out there.
The Shanahan guys were innovators in the not playing anyone space.

That is a strong basic philosophy. Basic.
But it overlooks the simple fact that late in pre season games the guys in there are bubble players..dudes looking to make an impact, get noticed, hopefully stick on a roster. These guys play more fast and loose..letting bodies fly more haphazardly than settled NFL players.
I dont have any "stats" to back it up... but I would bet money more guys get hurt later in pre season games than earlier... its not good to have established players on the field with dudes trying to make a name for themselves.
