Jason Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I’m not sure I’d ever play Joe in a preseason game. I do think he’s a full participant in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 My only hesitation on answering yes for question 1 (and I answered yes) - was the definition of full participation. I suspect he will be declared 100% cleared for camp, but also that ZT and staff may hold him out from some stuff early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tough call, if he participates fully in camp then there is something to be said for getting him some game snaps to knock off the rust, but at the same time you don't want to get him hurt in a meaningless game.

Griever Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I answered yes, no, yes. He didn't play in any preseason games last year because there wasn't a preseason. Granted nobody did last year, he looked pretty decent in Week 1 of his first NFL season. Joe mentioned in his last OTA press conference that he would have a conversation with coaches/front office about taking a couple series in preseason but that the discussions would be had closer to the games. I just have a hard time seeing Zac and others put him out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Their only home game is the third one against Miami - and that one is a CBS national game. I do wonder if Joe tries to talk them into letting him take a few series in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryker57 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 depends on how healthy/competent the OL is in the 1st preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I think he will start the home preseason opener but only play a series. Maybe two to show his new stripes and jack up the home crowd fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalBuck Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 There were no preseason games last year and JB didn't seem to have much of an issue going 0 to 60 there. If he doesn't take a preseason snap, but participates fully in preseason workouts he should be ahead of where he was last year week one.

sparky151 Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 My guess is he'll practice fully in camp but skip the scrimmage, start and play a series or two in 1 preseason game and start the season opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
