Updates from final stretch of training camp

Sam Laporta, we did not see him at Wednesday's practice.

Sorry, Camp Brain loses track of those days at Wednesday's practice.

Talked to Dan today about that.

Sounds like something just flared up with his hip.

Yeah.

Unexpected for sure, because I mean, he had the catch and run touchdown to clinch it for the first team offense and the scrimmage near the end of that on Monday night, I believe it was.

And then wasn't there Wednesday.

They weren't in pads or anything.

So you thought maybe, okay, just a day off.

He didn't miss a practice yet.

But then today it's just kind of, they're not concerned long-term is what I think.

Remember Dan saying, but then when he was pressed, like, do you think he'll be ready for the regular season? Like week one, it was like, I don't know.

I don't know.

So that's kind of like until we learn more, it's an indefinite tag.

But on the bright side, it wasn't a back issue, but still a huge potential blow to this offense because you don't want to be without that guy for a single play.

So, yeah, where are you most concerned with the Laporta situation? Obviously, Dan doesn't think it's long term, but any game you're missing without Sam Laporta is a big, big bad break.

Yeah, I mean, I'm obviously not a doctor, but you just mentioned it.

He was at Monday's practice and Laporta walked right past me after Monday's practice and he didn't appear to be favoring anything.

But again, I'm not a doctor.

So, I mean, he didn't look to be wincing or anything like that.

But then it kind of just took me back to.

okay, we didn't hear much about him having the back issue after the Washington game last year.

So it's just one of those mystery things with Laporta that has flared up.

I would say right now with the fact that if they're going to the season with pretty much everybody else in that offense relatively healthy, my concern level would be pretty low.

Dan didn't seem too concerned about it.
