@MikeReiss a report came out earlier today that Rex would be eased in Sunday. I remember last year he was kind of eased in the first game on few snaps. Do you project his touch count Sunday to be more like the end of last year when he was effectively used or kid gloves status?
Justin, the first thing is to note that running back Rex Burkhead, who didn't play all preseason, is cleared for action and not even listed on the injury report.
