Expected.

Guess they are going to do an MRI; if it was a break or something highly-serious, I'd think he'd be in a cast by now.

Jordan running with the 1's at LG is intriguing. Anyone but Jerry is intriguing to be honest.

It would be nice if Jordan wins the job and plays well we need good young linemen. Hopefully we can rebuild the line through a good young core of guys like Williams, Price and Jordan going forward. That fact that Jerry wasn't on a team last year was a huge red flag, plus at 33 years old he has no upside.

And just as quickly, he is out of the boot and wearing a regular pair of Nikes

Finley will be playing with the #2s on Thurs against Washington

Just talked to OL coach Jim Turner. Lot of love for rookie Michael Jordan at LG. Ran him with ones today because he liked way he played Sat.

Also from Turner: “Are no incumbents.” Was talking about Hopkins starting at center today over Price. “Not a demotion.” Hopkins earned shot.

I thought Priced looked good Saturday.   At the very least, better compared to last year.

I guess I was wrong about Price. Here are some more updates.

PFF grades for Chief's game. Phillips is rated highly at CB but maybe not the punt returner they expected.

QB Andy Dalton started the preseason off with a bang according to PFF https://t.co/v6AzJAQH6I

Good news. Love the intensity Fej brings.

Change of culture. This would have never happened under Marvin Lewis. Taylor and Turner are serious about challenging guys to earn their spot.

Yes, and it seems weird to some around here, because things haven't been that way since before many of them were fans.

It is interesting to watch as ZT and the other new coaches are switching players around trying to get the best possible lineup out there. I suspect the next change may be demoting Malik Jefferson and trying out someone else (like Deshaun Davis).

It's good to see ain't it ?

Well, it wasn't amputated or put in a cast so maybe there's a chance he'll walk again someday.

You can see he's got game as a CB.  I like how he plays the ball.  I think the day will come when some of those batted down balls end up as int's.

And he really is a good returner, but if you can't catch it, you can't run it.  I'd still send him back there in the preseason at least another time or two just to be sure.  If he drops another one, then that's it.

Lol. Big Ben, is that you?

Very cool to see good news coming down for once. Love this team and the ZT era is awesome to watch. Finally some competition in preseason.

Agreed... Erickson is steady, but they miss Pacman's "**** it!!!" approach in the return game. It'd be nice to have the ability to make splash plays again.

Agreed. We all remember Nate Livings starting in front of Evan Mathis.
