    For the 1st 2 X games, starters usually get a quarter, 2 in the 3rd and 3 in the 4th. So, it's the equivalent of less than 2 games of actual PT. The rest is spent looking at the newbies to see what they can do.

    But it's a matter of probability and intensity. The more contact situations, the greater the chances of getting injured. The more intense (ie exhibition game).

    The primary purpose of exhibition games is to help the coaching staff decide who to cut and who to keep. From a purely practical point-of-view, it does not make any sense to put starters into an exhibition game.

    Didn't he get his shoulder hurt last season when again someone intercepted a pass and he attempted to make a tackle on the player?

    If so, that's unreal.

    Since we're mentioning the skins, any update on Landry's play in the preseason?
