At this point, I agree to an extent - but if he's physically ready to play, it might make sense to get 20 snaps or so...my opinion. Coming in stone cold vs. Montana - how much would Rex actually play at that point? I'm not at practice or in the film room, so I don't know how ready Rex is at this point, but he needs to get his feet wet again, and I mean out of the pool therapy, and onto the game field.

We have a host of players out due to injury (i do not think anything season ending). Without any special inside knowledge, i do not think any of these players will be rushed back. I thing we are focused on a deep playoff run and better to be at full strength at beginning of playoffs than risk re-injury early season. Also, other players are getting qualify reps so we are building debt across the board.

With respect to Rex, we do need to protect him because he will be looking to make a push into the NFL. Cannot do that if you are less than 100% going in.

Winston Williams and Trent Carrade appeared to be full participants in practice today. Hayden John and Kam totten mostly working out in pads on the sideline. Main in pads doing non football workouts. Rex not in pads.

Thanks for update. Really need Trent back.
