AJ hasn't partipated in a real practice in almost two years. His last time in pads was all the way back in late 2018.
He's spent no time fully practicing in a Zac Taylor system. He's spent no time fully practing with Joe Burrow either.
This is, at the very least, just a little bit concerning. I don't care how well he knows the playbook, he really needs some reps. Timing is important, and it's being lost right now.
The comment that was made after he held out of the end of practice on day 1 was that it was just "precautionary". It was implied that it was no big deal. I initially thought he'd probably be back the next day, or the day after. Turns out, he misses the entire week.
With no preseason games scrimages like the one on Friday are kind of a big deal. Surely if the injury wasn't anything to worry about he'd at least play a bit in that, right? Well, no. He wasn't out there. Now it's Sunday, and he's still not out there.
This isn't good.
