But I think most of the debate or discussion is about whether or not Sanders should warrant a contract extension. Clearly the contract decision is looming. I just don't see this "injury" as a factor as it's simply soreness or tightness. People have that after every workout. It's enough "reason" to shut him down for the remaining preseason. If we had a regular season game today, he'd play. It's that simple. My point is that people that want to talk about games missed due to injury have valid concerns. He's missed 8 out of 48 regular season games. This, however, should not be added to those concerns.
August 20, 20223 yr I don’t think think he has a problem with injuries, but if you get tagged as "injury prone” it makes coming back harder. Both athlete and coach play tentatively.

Again I don’t disagree with any of that. But the debate over whether or not to extend him has been going on well before this latest issue.

And I think it is time to end that debate. The Eagles should not consider extending Sanders. At this point I don't even think the price should matter. They just shouldn't.
