He played 70% of Tennessees snaps last game and that's about a full boat for a skill position player his age.
I figure he's about as healthy as he's likely to be this season at this point. [Reply]

He can still run routes and get open enough, throw him the ball and watch him go get it, always been that way. [Reply]
If they are elevating Ross over Remigio when Skyy is down then they think Remigio is a turd..having Hopkins and Ross on the same roster, we goin jump ball offense? [Reply]

Yeah, Remigio fits the role Moore played much better than Ross.
What will they do if Hardman gets hurt? Who can return punts? And fill in on KR duty? [Reply]

Kurt Warner brought up an interesting point. He said the transition from the Rams with Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce to Arizona with Fitzgerald and (I forgot the name) was at first hard for him. He was used to open being 5 plus yards and went to Fitzgerald who is absolutely a contested catch guy and his coaches told him why are you not throwing the ball? He said well they're not open?! Coaches told him hey if they have a yard they ARE open. He took that advice and thrived. [Reply]
