seems kind of soon to start tanking, but I guess maybe not given the potential prize waiting in the draft. So sorry for fans who have season tickets...

I wonder if he will get surgery this time.

I get that injuries are part of the sport but at what point does the FO seriously re-evaluate the training staff? Seems like young or old players who play for the Blazers suffer a higher rate of non-contact injuries (core, strains, pulls, tears) than other teams. It has been this way for years regardless of the players cycled through the roster. Very frustrating.

I think it was mentioned somewhere this summer (Danny's podcast or maybe one of Highkin's mailbags? Idk) that there were some changes to the athletic training staff, but it's probably not accurate to call this a non-contact injury given it's a muscle tear. Some dudes like Rob Will and just more injury-prone, and for all we know Sharpe may be one of them. There's plenty of other guys across the league who get strains and stuff during training camps every year.

Starting the tank before the season starts is true dedication to waiving the white Flagg...
