Any word on Stew's injury?

It was just his calf, nothing serious at all he could've gone back in if it wasn't preseason.

I am well aware that this is what has been reported, and this isn't towards you B Wood...

But I DVR'd the game. At no point did his "calf get stepped on"

On the contrary, when he went down he was holding his knee and NOT his calf! We should all be worried to an extent.

He will probably have an MRI on the knee as a precaution due to the XRay being negative. And for those of you paying attention, you don't get your leg X Rayed cause someone steps on your calf.

He was dancing around on the sidelines later in the game, so it's a little less to worry about.

As we all know, any knee injury for a RB is significant. Even If it turns out to be a minor sprain. If we're smart we rest him until the season begins.

Rivera said his calf got kicked and that it was just a little scare. Stew also said he was completely fine on his twitter.

No I get that you aren't trying to be a jerk, I just wish I had a replay of the injury because I don't know why they would both make that up.

Not only was he dancing around, but he was also still in full pads on the sideline after the injury.

If they were even remotely worried there was something wrong they would have at least had him take off his pads if he came back out onto the sideline like that and would have ice on him

I think they're trying to keep it in house. I can assure you that I re watched the game and more specifically every play with J Stew. Never got calf kicked/stomped. The injury occurred at 3:08 left in 1st qtr. clearly grabs his knee, then seen mouthing "my knee" on sidelines to a trainer.

There are lots of reasons why they wouldn't say it's really his knee. I'd bet my life that he will be given "days off in the coming practices"

It's all good, like I said he was dancing later so... It's probably str8.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
