What do you mean they're putting outside?

Like, OK, you think they look hesitant?

Greg, I feel like you're asking me, is this a soft benching of JJ McCarthy?

Yes.

I do not believe so.

I don't think they're benching JJ McCarthy.

I think this was a high ankle sprain that I was told early.

And I know there's been a lot of reporting.

I've consistently said it.

It was four to six weeks.

And he has had to go through a few more hurdles to get cleared.

They want a full week of practice.

We're here now, right?

Like he's expected to start this week.

I don't think they were trying to shove JJ in the back to hide him because they went, oh my God, this kid is a nightmare.

He stinks.
