I wont even say freak injuries. Lets say injuries. Injuries can occur in preseason which are games that dont count. so why have a greater probablilty of injury. They can happen walking down the street. But we are talking about practice which is more precautious than preseason games when the opponent doesn't care if he hurts you or not. You can slip on a wet spot on a wet floor and twist your ankle. The point is.. These games don't count so why risk it. Let him run the ball a few times. But limit it. There are players that are lost for the year on preseason games. Would you rather one of our star players get hurt in a preseason game? I know we have Betts. But are you willing to take that risk...or you just dont think CP is that valuable?

if your gonna hold prtis out of the game for fear of an injury, then every starter should be held out. clinton is important but so is campbell, the WRs, our TEs and the O-line.
