He was walking around under his own power. No need to push anything at this stage...

I always worry when a guy re-injures something that needed to be repaired.

Chris Brown posted that Ko is doing "just OK" on the field. Let's hope he does more than just OK when regular season comes or chalk up another bum from the '06 draft.

Who's going to be your S and CB this year, HURRICANE?

It could easily be scar tissue or some other minor issue too.

Re: Simpson "tweaked" his surgically repaired ankle.

I have plates and screws in one ankle and tearing or aggrevating scar tissue is as bad as a sprain or strain. At least it feels that way. I expect him to have an issue all year. Especially after games the next couple days will probably require alot of ice and elevation.

John Wendling may have just earned himself a roster spot.

Why do I have this feeling we're gonna be strongly pursuing a new safety to pair with Donte Whitner this offseason?

Definitely raises a littles red flag and cause for concern. Too early to tell but it common players never fully recover from major injuroes and are soon set out to pasture.

Wendling is a gunner on STs...he likely had a roster spot regardless...

If he's going to have issues all year round, maybe he shouldn't start then to give him less wear and tear. Wilson had a nice interception in TC and for all intents and purposes, appears to be looking pretty good. I don't think it would be a bad idea to let him start if Ko still has issues. I rather that that Ko start and re-injure himself and or put a load that takes its toll and never be the same again. He's too young and needs to heal completely.
