Injury Crisis: Center Depth and Soft Tissue Concerns
Center depth has become a crisis after Luke Deiter was carted off, joining Wattenberg and Forsyth on the sideline. Only Throckmorton and an undrafted rookie remain. Meinerz practicing snaps as emergency. Kage Casey getting center reps for versatility. Meanwhile, soft tissue injuries continue to plague the team: Dobbins returned limited, Mims back, Waddle still out. Payton adding warm-downs but pattern concerning. This is a major roster health issue heading into preseason opener.
