Agreed, he should just sit out the rest of pre-season to be safe.
Yep I agree also. One thing also, we must have one hell of a strength and conditioning coach and training staff to avoid injuries like we have up until now.
Yeah, but truth is we didn't avoid that many injuries.
Last year Gore, Crabtree, Edwards, Morgan and others were hurt and missed time. We just fill in holes pretty well.
Thats true, all of those guys are injury prone anyway well at least crabs and gore are, but yeah we did fill the holes decently.
I like having Parys as a back up, he's a pretty good LB, but I pray to God Aldon is healthy all year long

Ok I am grading the WR corps now. There are quite a few so I'll keep it brief on each player.
Randy Moss - Dude will likely go down as one of the greatest WR of all time, maybe #2. He is not the player he was a decade ago, but I still think he has some gas in the tank. He is a great route runner (despite criticisms saying otherwise). He seems to still have most of his speed, and his lanky build and great hands will make him a great target in the red zone. At worst he's a good decoy.
Grade: B
Michael Crabtree: Has not performed up to his draft status, but I still think he's a good receiver. I still think he has the talent to be a #1. Based on camp reports, his foot is better, and as a result, he's shown better speed. He has to improve his route running and make better cuts but he improve upon this and be a very good contributor.
Grade: B
Mario Manningham: He is pretty good at everything but great at nothing. Despite that I feel we upgraded from Josh Morgan. He was an underrated player on the Giants. He is still young and can improve but I think he will likely be our #3 receiver and he rounds us out.
Grade: B-
Kyle Williams - Despite Puntgate, dude is young receiver with a lot of potential. He has very speedy, has decent hands and runs good routes when he was out there. He stepped up when we were devastated by injuries last year. I think he continues that process this year.
Grade: C+
Ted Ginn: Super fast. Awful hands, he will not seeing too many snaps unless we're in a 5 receiver set in the shotgun which is like never.
Grade: D-
AJ Jenkins: He is growing on me. He has good speed, great hands, but needs to tighten up his route running but he may have some potential to be a good slot receiver. We'll see.
Grade: C
Chris Owusu: He may be a steal for us but I think he'll end up in the practice squad and some other team will scoop him up
Grade: C-
Brett Swain: A good work horse, practice squad receiver, a good depth player and gives good looks in practice, but I would get nervous of our squad was so devastated that he had to see on field playing time.
Grade: D+
Joe Hastings: We could take him or leave him, a practice squad body
Grade: F
