Ja'marr made a good decision taking another week vs Tennessee.  Very mature move on his part.  A lot of guys aren't wired to do that.

I would disagree. I think a lot of guys aren't wired to do that in game and in the moment. However, once they are shut down and rehabbing, they are more likely to get back to good and be 100% before coming back. Plus, coaches are watching them more closely and far more likely to ask multiple times if the player is okay.

It's also much easier for a guy who isn't in a battle for his job in any way to sit out extra time versus the fringe or back of the roster guys.
