Reed Already Has an Injury?

At the risk of sounding old and cranky I find this form of modern sports reporting very obnoxious.

First, a player tweaks something and leaves the field during a practice and twitter conjecture immediately runs rampant. Then, the player is held out of the next practice due to an abundance of caution as the Hawks want to make sure the player will be good to go in the regular season. The ensuing twitter take is that it "sounds like the Seahawks dodged a bullet", when the only bullet involved anywhere was conjured out of thin air by the initial overreaction.

Meh, bumps and bruises in camp are nothing new. Injury is a little bit of a reach at this point. Unless he misses games I'm not gonna' worry about it. Same for other players. I guess teams have been "dodging bullets" for years then.

There's a certain health issue that is a twitterverse dream come true.

It's why I try not to over react when somebody "leaves practice" without any explanations on some random day.
