Gibbs hinted that Springs is hiding an injury

[WillH]

I was bewildered as to why the didn't play him.

He also was reported to have said he didn't know he wasn't starting until right before the game.

I was thinking that perhaps they baulked at starting him so as to preserve him some for the next two games against division rivals. You know keep the injury prone star healthy for as long as possible...

But this seems doubtful, you should really go all out on the first game of the season, and see what type of squad you really have.

Ill be very concerned if he doesn't see the field soon. Rogers and Smoot are not a very staunch set of cb's.
