Injury updates on Kalil, Bell, Davis, and Beason

Because the OP was too lazy:

DAVIS, BEASON MAKING PROGRESS: Linebacker Thomas Davisicon-article-link.gif, who is working an injured calf back to full strength, practiced extensively Sunday afternoon.

“Thomas practiced an awful lot today, the most he’s practiced (in a while),” Rivera said. “I was pretty excited to see him on the football field. Probably the biggest thing we got out of today was watching Thomas run around.”

Jon Beasonicon-article-link.gif, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, did not participate Sunday, but Rivera said he hopes to have the middle linebacker back on the practice field Wednesday. There is a chance Beason will make his preseason debut Sunday against the Jets.

“If he has a good couple of days, hopefully, we’ll see him on Sunday,” Rivera said.

OTHER INJURY NOTES: Rivera said center Ryan Kalilicon-article-link.gif and tackle Byron Bellicon-article-link.gif, who were checked out after getting stepped on in Friday’s game against the Dolphins, suffered no injuries. Both practiced Sunday.

Rivera also confirmed that the calf injury running back Jonathan Stewarticon-article-link.gif suffered is not serious.

Wide receiver Steve Smithicon-article-link.gif was given the day off due to a sore foot.

Additionally, linebackers Kenny Onatoluicon-article-link.gif and Jason Williamsicon-article-link.gif did not practice Sunday. Onatolu, who suffered a hamstring injury against the Dolphins, is a long shot to play against the Jets, according to Rivera.

Williams hyperextended his elbow in the game but Rivera is hopeful he’ll be back later in the week.

great news to hear across the board.

if our 1's do to the jets what they did to the dolphins we should sit them early, maybe even before the second quarter hits. give the backups reps and prevent any further minor first stringer injuries. if the guys seem to have the rust shaken off no point in keeping them out there.

So - do you guys want to see Beason on Sunday against the Jets? For selfish reasons, I want to see him out there, even for limited snaps, just to see him at game speed, then pull him out and don't play him against the Steelers in the meaningless fourth preseason game.

I know many will say sit him until week one, but I would like him to get some game action before then.

Yea I'd like to see him in there for a bit but pull him early. Get him cutting and hitting some just to get a feel for the game but don't risk anything with him. Might be a good idea to slide Kuechly inside after pulling him just to acclimate him to both positions.

Hell to the naw. I selfishly wanted him to play the first regular season game last season and looked where that ended up.

Even if he is a little rusty in Tampa Bay, it'll be better than risking a prolonged hammy injury in the preseason.

    • You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.
    • Like we have had the last 3 years.
    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
