So Zac said "tightness", then I read elsewhere that it is "tendinitis" but idk of what tendon/body part or if that's even true. If it's "tightness", yeah that seems like an issue where he didn't pass his physical because tightness typically means you're lacking some endurance/stability. So he might not have passed some PT related tests. Tendinitis, however, means your tendons is getting stressed out because of muscular weakness. If your muscle is too weak to do a task, the tendon become aggravated. So that's not some terrible injury, but if not treated properly, it could result in something worse. Better to keep him just doing rehab stuff than risking an in-camp injury for a vet who doesn't necessarily need the reps the same way rookies do.

Would guess as have others he’s out of shape and needs to get in shape. If he didn’t pass the physical he probably couldn’t last the basic fitness test. Looking at video of him walking in with Mims he didn’t look in shape.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

We knew Trent Brown was injury prone before we signed him but he cant even make it to training camp before being placed on an injury list? Not a good sign. Hopefully Mims is ready because he is probably going to see a lot of playing time this year. Im not counting on Brown.

Worst case, is Ford or Carman the backup RT to Mims if Brown misses time?

It's long been rumored he wouldn't make the final 53...

The only way we were able to get Trent Brown as cheap as we did was because he is injury prone. No surprise.
Great swing Tackle when healthy though and worth the investment if he can get healthy when we need him.
Leaning towards Amarius taking the starting RT spot though after this and that might not be a bad thing.
Love Amarius Mims and he has been impressing all Offseason from what I have heard.
