Pollack merely described the damage as a pressure with no specification on the aspect or a part of the physique. He did emphasize this was a “precautionary deal” and “no huge deal.”

It wouldn’t be shocking if Cappa had some cramping in his calf or hamstring and tapped out. He additionally may have suffered an damage that might have him shelved for a handful of practices to ensure he’s wholesome for the season, however we merely have no idea but.

He was certainly one of three huge blows to the offensive line that additionally misplaced Jonah Williams and La’el Collins in consecutive weeks. His absence was felt as quarterback Joe Burrow spent many of the playoffs working for his life after dealing with constant stress.

That actually reveals why the crew might be okay with being so cautious with Cappa. We’ve seen what it’s like with out him, and it’s not nice.

An even bigger be aware was Pollack did say that Trey Hill crammed in properly for the lacking starter, which supplies a lift to his inventory of creating the 53-man roster. Nonetheless, we’d somewhat have a yr the place Cappa will get to play in each sport.
