And unless I heard wrong this morning DT will play on Thursday

I guess i get the same feeling as skins fan. I hate seeing these guys always missing practice. A guy like Clinton or Santana or another perennial starter and its ok. No red flags. But the fact that Devin is already missing time with his hammy gives me a real doubt as to weather or not he can go a full 16 games with no hammy issues. IE missing mutiple games in a row. Not to mention the time he is losing in camp getting his timing down with JC. It is not panic more a sense of doubting a guy who hasn't done much of anything. I want Devin to succeed. I haven't seen anything other than the Comments in that article from Zorn that make it seem as though he is uncertain if DT will play. these guys need reps
