LAS VEGAS -- No, Pat Freiermuth's no longer on the injury report. There are no parentheses after his name. No updates on whether or not he practiced on a given day, since he doesn't skip any. No worries over who might have to replace him. No lowered bar for how he'd fare in games.
And yet, he's barely breathing. Still.
As some might recall no thanks to the man himself, earlier this month on the NFL's opening weekend, he'd taken a blow to the chest so apparently brutal that ... he popped back onto the field within minutes.
