Even if just for a practice or two. It's the fact here's someone we've spent a lot of money on and are expecting BIG things from him and he's already nursing an injury.
No, he can't. Here is the definition of the two types of PUP designations:
Preseason PUP - means a player can do everything but practice or play in games with the team while they're in training camp. They still have access to trainers and medical facilities, can participate in meetings and, presumably, eat at the cafeteria. All players who took the field in the first training camp practice cannot be placed on the preseason PUP.
Regular Season PUP - A player placed on the regular season PUP cannot practice or play in games until after the sixth game of the season.
of this. Harrison, Bromley, and Lewis are not seriously injured and should be on the field soon. This is a great opportunity for Montori Hughes, Louis Nix, and Milhouse to get the coaches attention with the additional reps they all will be receiving. I expect Hughes and Nix to get some snaps with the starters and if these two actually work hard they have a chance to not only win a roster spot but some serious playing time in the DT rotation.

I also believe DT/FB Nikita Whitlock will get more looks now, early in camp, then if the bunch were all healthy. This means we'll know likely early on whether this kid is ready for NFL specialist pass rush duties or not. If he gets blocked all the time by the OL, well, he may not have a shot. I'm praying for the kid and for our defense that we have a "6th guy" that can rush from anywhere.

Butttttttt....we already know what he can do in the NFL...he CAN't rush from ANYWHERE. He creates matchup problems with bigger slower guards who cant move as well laterally.
I know I mentioned him once a week or so ago, but you keep bringing him up like we might have the next John Randle on our D line. He is a specials and specialty situation player. Thats it. Maybe we can have himas a hole puncher with Will Johnson or have him back there in a 3 RB set McCarthy used to like to use. But this idea that he is an unknown commodity is just not true.

Thanks for this. I feel much better now. :)
Where are you getting that he's going to miss a game?
Roll back the anxiety. It's not even august yet.

This is generally wise advice for dealing with life's difficulties, but it would also lead to not caring at all about spectator sports.
