Why wasn't Graham suited up and playing?

I haven't heard that he was injured. What up? Just saving him for regular season?

Dang, and Prosise too! Too many RB's that can't be counted on to be ready on this team.

What does Graham have to prove in a meaningless preseason game? He doesn't need the work or the reps. He needs to keep healthy for the regular season. Why risk an injury?

Only a little bit of timing with Russ in "real" game action. Hopefully, he'll get a few plays next week for that. He doesn't need a whole game, but a series or two would be helpful.

IF for just a series or two next week I agree, but after that let him get the reps and timing in practice.

Both 'could' have played if it was regular season. Coaches know enough about them that there was no need to push the envelope in a pre-season game. Both suited up for pre-game, but coach decided to hold them out when they had some discomfort.

The dude can literally play at a pro bowl level with one hand behind his back (we've seen it lol) I'm fine with him sitting out

Yep, no reason to push it. We all know what the guy can do.

True, but some of us are hoping that Bevell will watch and learn too. :idea:

Some people understand that Jimmy had an outstanding season considering what he was dealing with injurywise, was handled properly and is on the threshold of another fantastic season.
