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.

    • Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.
    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
