and Oh, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here and this is a mostly

fans only podcast. I'll have another one after this on Monday leading up to the game so make sure you keep an eye out for that

But let's get into some of the things first of all from practice and TCO Performance Center today.

Two things that stuck out to me.

One, Andrew Booth Jr. was not practicing again,

which means it's more likely than not that he will not play and it should be a red flag with

Andrew Booth Jr it's the second time he's been hurt already and you don't want to call anyone injury prone.

Like it's just not fair to the player.

I remember Kyle Rudolph talking about this,

how early in his career he had some bad breaks and everybody said oh that guy can't stay

healthy and then he stayed healthy for like a hundred games in a row.

But with Andrew Booth Jr. when he had the history of injuries and

Quaysie Adolphel mens on draft night brought up that he went to the staff and

said are you guys sure that we could spend a second round pick on somebody who's had this many injuries in

his past and they said yes we're gonna go for it the fact that he's already been injured

twice and it looks like may miss this game is a concern.

It's also a concern from the standpoint of depth at Corner because already they're pretty short at that position.

If you go beyond Patrick Peterson and beyond Camp Dancer,

you're talking about a Caleb Evans who got in for six snaps or something like that in week one

a Caleb Evans is a project player who I think has really impressive size and movement

skill but I don't believe is ready to play huge numbers of

snaps Perry Nickerson is on the practice squad he's been in a couple of games
