There is certainly good news with Sam Darnold being cleared for contact again this week. Darnold will wear special padding to protect his spleen but he says the padding isn’t restrictive at all. He plans on wearing this special padding the rest of the season. He has been doing light conditioning, even while he was out, so he says he is in good shape and is ready to start on Sunday.
I think having a couple weeks of practices under my belt is a good thing. It’s definitely going to help with that, but there’s nothing like Sunday and I think going out there and going out there and playing the first couple series, I think will be a little bit of a shock to the system, I guess you could say.
