This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome to NFL Daily, where we are not psychotic or psychic.

I am Greg Rosenthal and beyond lucky today to be joined right off the top of the show

with one of our insiders. It's our weekly insider segment and this time it's Mike

Garifolo. Also we'll be joined later in the show. Very excited about this by Brian Baldinger. But before

we do that, it's time to talk some news with

Mike. He couldn't stand that Ian got the first two spots on NFL daily, and he got his way.

First two. Wow. Yeah. He was available. You know, he was just on on TV that day and available in there.

That's what we do. He's very unselfish, Ian Rappaport.

You know, you guys have a very close, unique relationship.

We're going to get to that a little bit later, but I wanted to start the show just doing the news

with someone who covers it nonstop.

So Randy hit the drop. Let's do it.

News So Randy hit the drop. Let's do it. News.

A surprising bit of training camp, Mike, news on Thursday that Russell Wilson wasn't out there with his calf injury that no one knew about before Thursday. So Justin Fields got out there. He's throwing pretty

deep balls to Van Jefferson. I haven't seen Van Jefferson come down with a deep ball in quite a while,

so that was nice. See, he might be their number two receiver. They don't have much right there.

Any long-term concern, maybe not just this injury, but does it get any chance here that Justin Fields

makes this a battle? I think so. Mike Tomlin likes to play his guys in preseason games. He talks

about it, talked about it last year. You get into an environment like that. It gives you a chance

to see how those environments are. It's a dress rehearsal. A lot of coaches are resting guys these days.

Mike Tomlin very much old school in a lot of ways wants to play these guys.
