Wentz’s Foot, Lance Starting (?), QB Battles, and Training Camp Standouts
With training camp underway, we kick off the week by running through all of the major injuries so far, including Carson Wentz requiring surgery on his foot, DeVonta Smith missing multiple weeks with a knee sprain, and Dak Prescott’s sore shoulder. Then we run through the players getting the most training camp hype and decide if we are buying it or not. Finally, Craig’s brother, Scott, drops by to embarrass him on his birthday.
