Zylstra having a rough night.

If not for the Shi Smith injury he might have been cut

I think he still might be. I'm not sure if he's good enough of a special teams specialist to justify the spot. 

[TheSpecialJuan]

Looks like we just lost Shi Smith for the season good news for Keith Kirkwood

Saunders has a little bit of shake in his game.

Tepper was just as brutal at half time, if anything Smith will be on NFL network national games soon

Have you been watching this preseason? Shi Smith has shown a ton of promise.

Is Saunders the official returner at this point?

Pretty much everything? Ray Charles jokes, mercilessly roasting Slye, having an awks in-booth conv with Tepper and Mixon etc. My comment was prompted by his "You're doing a great job, Kristen, but we already knew Shi was out with a shoulder".

He's entertaining, but he'll be rubbing people up the wrong way for sure.

He was saying that the Shi injury might have saved Zylstra from being cut. I think  you misread what he meant. 

[Oldschool Leroy]

how long does it take for a separated shoulder injury? is it season ending?

I think Zylstra and Moore are fighting for one spot IMO.

Few weeks with no surgery

Yeah man, I really wanted him to take the final spot. Hopefully he can turn this set back into a year of growth and come out flying next year.

I doubt he'll miss the whole year but if he misses significant time I'm not sure he'll find his way to significant playing time this season.
