@iamthedane2: “This is just out of caution right? Right???!”
@Andy___Ferguson: “No sense in rushing him back. They have the pieces to adjust and the lead to not rush anything.”
@407Volfan4life: “Good. Good idea to give him another days rest. That and an off day tomorrow hopefully will do the trick.”
