They've had two games both of them a little disappointing in my opinion, obviously the Seahawks and the Patriots kind of got overshadowed by the injuries of AJ Brown and Sam Darnold still a good finish.
I mean, they look like they just woke up and walked onto the field, which they basically did.
And one thing that will make that game better, Sean, is the potential return of running back Alvin Kamara.
But Friday, officially listed as questionable, he was a full participant in practice today.
And Friday before a game, the injury report is the biggest thing you're looking for.
Remember, this is not the same as training camp or preseason where you can watch the whole practice.
Our cameras can only be in there for stretch, but we are allowed to stay in there without cameras for about... 25-30 minutes and there's no there's no team stuff there's it's all individual stuff like position drills and a couple little things that you see in addition to the stretching but I will say this Wednesday I went out there we were obviously pleasantly surprised to see him out there and in the window of time we were out watching it he was doing some things but not a lot and then we got the official notifications he was limited Thursday I went out there, okay, one day later, and just in that very limited window I'm able to see, he was doing significantly more.
