Interesting that Hurts still isn't on the report. 

On the contrary, if he is just sore and not injured then him appearing now 2 weeks later would be interesting, and not the converse, no? 

 

Bummer that Roby isn't practicing

Possibly. to me it looks like he's injured and isn't playing the way he normally does.

I honestly think thats a good thing though. Its almost like things slowed down for him last game because he knew he couldn't take off and was a lot more accurate and calm in the pocket

It doesn't meet the NFL's reporting requirements and guidelines. Hurts's performance hasn't been compromised and his stats from the last game validate this.

1. Practice Report
The Practice Report is expected to provide clubs and the public an accurate description of a player’s injury status and his level of participation during the practice week. All players who have reportable injuries must be listed on the Practice Report, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game. This is especially true of key players and those players whose injuries have been the subject of local or national media coverage.

Some injuries are automatically reportable because they result in the player’s unavailability or limited availability to the club. These include any injury that:
(a) causes the player to miss a game;
(b) prevents the player from finishing a game;
(c) causes the player to miss a practice (Did Not Participate);
(d) limits the player’s participation in practice (Limited Participation); or
(e) prevents the player from finishing a practice (Limited Participation).

Other injuries may be reportable because of their effect upon the player’s performance despite his continuing availability to the club.

As one example, assume a club’s quarterback suffers an injury to a finger of his right (throwing) hand during the club’s first game of the season. After treatment, he is able to finish the game despite his injury. Given the injury’s effect upon the player’s performance, and the fact that he is a key player, the injury must be listed on the club’s Practice Report each day of the following week, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the club is certain that he will play in the club’s next game. In such a case, the player should be listed as "Full Participation (right finger)” in the Practice Report, but would not be listed in the club’s Game Status Report for Week 2 because the player is certain to play in the club’s upcoming game. See Section 2 (Game Status Report) on page 5. The club must continue to list the player on its weekly Practice Reports until the player’s injury no longer affects the player’s performance.

Here is where you can make the argument. Has it affected his performance? You could say no, considering his last game was the best hes played. How does one prove the knee injury affected his performance?

No worries their slot WR sucks 🙂

Players are almost always "hurt" with something.  An injury probably has more official protocols and need to be on the official report.

Remember that movie The Program?  "Are you hurt, or are you injured?"

I would think only in the context of fantasy football and gambling that is linked to specific stats is the injury germane. His running yards are down, his passing yards are up, etc. This could also be explained as game-planning. In terms of being able to state it doesn't affect his performance, I would think you could rely on gross metrics like QB rating, points scored, etc. IMO, the Eagles have a lot of cover to not formally report the injury. It falls into the category of injuries almost every player has at this time of the year that they white-knuckle through.

Going with my old friend 31-17 Eagles.

I hope it's Byard with 2 INTs including a Pick 6.

I don't feel I'm putting too much weight on it.  But to say they are pointless and nothing comes out of it, I disagree with.  He and the coordinators discuss their play calling approach, culture, leadership qualities of players, admit mistakes such as Siri saying he would do things differently.  One example is he admitted he should play the starters more in preseason.  He's explained his thought process in situational play calling. 

. You bought that, eh?   He said that they'd look at that...  Meanwhile, the team is 7-1... I highly doubt there will be even one minor change to their preseason protocols next year.    

Not having Bradley Roby is a really big deal when the Cowboys' #1 WR is a slot WR named CeeDee Lamb. 

We better play a ton of man coverage in this game. Otherwise, Lamb/Dak are going to abuse the middle of the field. Dallas doesn't have a single WR as fast as McLaurin or Dotson.

You are right, George Allen is a better choice.

"Press conferences are pointless and nothing ever comes out of them."

After a Hurts press conference:  3 pages dissecting it and jumping to conclusions that something is wrong, it's "weird" and Hurts is "pissy."

Yes.   The blog is where important issues are beaten to death, like what the definition of 'elite' is. 

 

And none of it will impact a single thing ON THE FIELD, which is all that matters, and what I was referring to.  Nothing burger indeed.

And when he's not running into Washington's DL or Jets' DL.   Of course, Washington's DL is now completely destroyed.
