One of the bigger storylines in training camp has been the wide receivers. Depending on who you ask, the wide receivers have either struggled immensely or shown flashes of brilliance. The wide receiver position was one of the bigger question marks on the team coming out of the offseason, and that doesn’t seem to have changed over the first week of camp.
As training camp began, a notable wide receiver was absent from practice. The team’s leading wideout over the last two seasons, Rishard Matthews, missed several practices in a row with an “undisclosed injury”. What was curious about Matthews’ absence, aside from his injury not being described in detail, was the fact that he wasn’t on the PUP list.
