No word on whether it is related to their injuries from last season or for another reason. Of course players often fail the physical on Day 1 only to pass a couple of days later so we shall see

Thanks for the update Pally. I really liked Bailey all through the draft process. Hope it’s just a minor bump like you said and not a sign of a bigger issue.

The Kareem pick was the only one I didn’t like this year. Not a good start.

Markus Bailey tweeted that he was "all good" and it was just "normal procedure" for a guy coming off an injury.
He's all shiney and new and doesn't know how the fans NEVER trust injury reports

As much extra time as these guys have had to recover and prepare themselves for their life's dream assignment, I'm pretty disappointed that they're not healthy and football ready.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Hopefully it's just a process of examining injuries from this year and checking everything out. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it's a lingering issue.

I hope that you're right, but part of me thinks that in a "normal" year, these guys would have spent the entire Spring on IR, as well as Mini-camp, and now training camp.

Both are coming off serious injuries and haven't had a chance to practice or go through otas. Not a huge surprise!

Is a physical something that is even in his control? It's not a conditioning test, it's obviously something physical.

And it can easily be a follow up to the physical. For example, wanting to get a better look through an X-Ray or MRI.

Bailey should prob sit a year. Could be a Ronnie Anderson situation if he doesn’t. Why bother pushing it?

I choose to look at the bright side.
Davis-Gaither had surgery just a month before the draft. I was really concerned about him. Thrilled to hear he passed.

Can't help but wonder if this isn't some plan to have more guys on the roster...not sure of injury exceptions, but with the numbers restricted as is...

I’m not saying it’s under his control. It’s still a bad start to his career though. And doesn’t help make me like the pick any better.

Do we know for sure that it is not COVID related?
Are they even allowed to say because of patient confidentiality if it is COVID?

It's not; they are on NFI, due to injuries from last year.
