    Official Training Camp and Preseason Thread

    I figured it wouldn't hurt to have one thread to talk about any football news out there, whether it's injuries or players looking better than expected or whatnot.

    We're exactly one week away from the Hall of Fame Game (Cowboys vs Bengals), which will officially kickoff the NFL Preseason.

    In injury news today, Knowshon Moreno and Corey Buckhalter were both carted off the field today. Really sucks for the Broncos because they just traded JJ Arrington to the Eagles yesterday.

    Early unofficial word on Moreno is that it is a hamstring tear with the severity unknown.

    Buckhalter was released from the hospital with some sort of a back injury but he was able to walk off the field on his own when he got hurt so it sounds like they were just taking extra precautions by taking him to the hospital.


    But to add, no one seems to know much of anything. Apparently ESPN is reporting Buckhalter hurt his leg while the Denver Post is reporting upper back injury.

      Just read this on MSNBC...



      FOX 31 in Denver reports that an MRI Sunday night revealed Knowshon Moreno's hamstring is not torn.

      While it's good that he'll avoid surgery, the possibility remains that Moreno's hamstring is significantly strained, as observers heard a "pop" when he went down on the practice field Sunday. He has no timetable for return, and the secretive Broncos could conceivably milk the the injury right up until the opener. We can pretty safely expect Belichick disciple Josh McDaniels to list Moreno as "questionable, limited" on the Week 1 injury report.
      Good news that it's not torn but still an injury that could very well linger throughout the season.

      Just a friendly reminder to myself and many others why you never do fantasy drafts before preseason even starts.

          What is he supposed to be paid this year and how much is he looking to get paid?

            Getting paid $1 million and he wants to be the highest paid CB in the NFL. That would be $15.5 million or so per year.

            All of that is assuming I'm remembering ESPN correctly.

              I believe Aso is set to make 16 million this year and Revis is set to make 1 million(If I'm not mistaken) as I was reading the ESPN ticker earlier. No way he gets paid more than Aso this season IMO but, I think they'll eventually agree to something.

                I forget all the details, but the issue is guaranteed money. The Jets offers have included very little of it. They don't want to give him a ton of money up front with the labor uncertainty, and some weird cap/contract issues keep them from guaranteeing money down the road.

                It's turned ugly because Revis believes that the Jets have lied to him, and leaked things to the media to make him look greedy, like that report that he was looking for $20 million a year. Who knows, but it's not the first time the Jets have been accused of lying to players about their contract situation. I tend to sign with Revis.

                Have to figure they will eventually get something done though, Revis is too important to this defense.

                  Damn, only $1 mil? He definitely deserves much more than that. He's an absolutely stud.

                  I'm sure they'll get something done though. If he's not on the field in week 2, that'd be alright with me though.

                      Eagles budding second-year wideout Jeremy Maclin was carted off the field with a hyperextended left knee today. Jeff McClane of the Philadelphia Inquirer provided play-by-play Tweets. According to receiver Hank Baskett, Maclin’s injury “killed the mood”, prompting coaches to end practice early. Maclin needed help walking from the cart into the locker room. No word yet on the severity of the injury. If Maclin, for whatever reason, is unavailable, the Eagles would likely turn to possession receiver Jason Avant.

                      UPDATE: Maclin was able to walk out of the locker room under his own power. He had a sleeve over his knee and said his foot got caught in the ground.

                          I usually never condone players that hold out when they are due to get payed $5+M. But I have condoned it two times this year. In the cases of Derrelle Revis and Chris Johnson. I know that niether is due to get payed even $2M this upcoming season. In Revis' case, I find it a joke that 7 players in the Jets' secondary are higher payed then him. How can you blame him for holding out? He should be asking for a significant raise. But if he demands a trade, the Packers would welcome him with open arms. Woodson + Revis... Well I don't even want to imagen the scenario that other teams would have to go up against. The word nightmareish comes to mind.

                          As for Jonson, he is the best HB in this league, for any Viking fan out their I have one word for you, no. Him only being due a little over $500K is a joke. He could probably make more getting a job in his field of study at college.

                            Tra Thomas (LT) out 2 weeks. Thomas Butler 3rd round pick also injured and expected to be out a while.

                            Damn it, Butler was one of the rooks I was expecting to get a good look at. Hopefully it won't be going into pre-season but, I got a feeling it will be.

                            This left tackle situation has me worried, I know Dombroski(not sure I spelled that right, probably didn't) is supposed to be the starter right now I believe but, I'm skeptical. I got a feeling Dumervil might have Rivers looking like Rodgers out there this year, running for his life out there...if he even see's it coming that is.
