Because the Jags staff isn't rushing Allen onto the field in unpadded voluntary practices his injury must be more than just a bruise, or they are not working a rookie hard enough.  Is that it? 

He's a rookie learning a new system and he will largely play a rotational role. Is missing 6 or 7 voluntary, unpadded practices in May/June going to ruin the kids ability to rotate in and rush the passer in September? Will he not get enough reps when the pads come on in camp? 

I just want to be clear on what it is you think I need to be so worried about.

I think they are making the right decision not rushing him back.  My comment was just a #becausejaguars comment because of our recent injury history and our history with first round rookies.  

Fowler tore his ACL in his first OTA practice,  the joke had a season ending injury, Ramsey had an ankle injury his rookie year but heralded up for the season.  It was kind of a joke post but I still don't like seeing these minor injuries before pads get out on.  Don't take every post so serious

It's only going to get tougher for them and more risk of injury.  Hopefully our team his healthy for the most part come week 1.
