Again? Wow two years in a row, that's terrible luck.

Looking at the schedule, is it me or are they doing way more full pads work this year?

The Bears player was just sick or something...nothing season-ending.

Heinicke's injury required surgery just two weeks ago so I wouldn't expect him back real soon.

Edit: Heinicke said he suffered a cut above his left ankle that required surgery while trying to break into his own house. He’s hoping to be healthy by the Sept. 11 regular-season opener at Tennessee.

Will be interesting if that costs him a roster spot.

I know there was a lot of people wanting to see what he had this preseason.
You could very well be right. Cause I think roster spots will be at a premium this year.

I was thinking earlier that if he was on a scooter with his leg propped up that it had to be a serious injury.

So with Heinicke on a non football injury he has to be promoted to the active roster by week 6 of the regular season or placed on injured reserve.

Hardcore that's a shame. But it sounds like it could have been a hold my beer watch this moment.
Everybody was looking forward to seeing him perform this preseason and now he could be lost for the year and loose out on a roster spot.

Stash him on IR...getting injured isn't the worst fate for bubble players, although I'm sure he would've liked to get in the preseason work.

I won't be shocked if Moritz gets "injured" in the last preseason game.

Jayron Kearse has to be the tallest safety I've ever seen. People weren't lying about how it looked in OTA's.

Welp, Fusco wins by default.
Despite his presence at camp, I’m being told an undisclosed injury is likely to land RG Mike Harris on PUP list for lengthy stay. #Vikings
