Running back is a big question as starterRay Ricehad his worst season last year. They also drafted two running backs in the last three rounds as well as acquiringJustin Forsettthis past offseason.
With that being said, the preseason will kick off tonight and we might get a taste of what this new offense will look like. In the first game, the starters typically play about 20 to 23 minutes and the quarterback might only last for three sets. However, we’ll take what we can get.
So who’s playing and who isn’t in this Super Bowl rematch against the San Francisco 49ers? Teams aren’t required to submit an official injury report during the preseason so we will do the best we can.
