Trey Hendrickson Update

The third preseason games is Saturday -- a very short week. That is a recipe for injuries, especially because Indianapolis will be coming in with a week's worth of rest before that third game and because Indy may throw in 3rd stringers desperate to make an impression -- a hard hit, etc.

The starters should play a series or two in the second game. They would then reach the threshold that Esiason said they needed to be ready (20 to 40 snaps for entire preseason -- Burrow was QB for 16 so far) and likely would be against Washington's starters, and they would also get used to playing a night game. 

I agree no starters should play in week 3. Let's hope our starters on both sides of the ball get in great work Monday and we come unscathed. My guess is we also see Washington's starters so will be a nice test for a quarter or so.

I am concerned about our depth and the back end of our roster. I hope we see a better outing from the backups as well because we will have injuries so we need depth at every position.
