When James turned out to be one of the best safeties in the league and Miller struggled, that ado turned into a full-on hullabaloo. But this year, Miller looks much improved while James has suffered a serious injury that will sideline him well into the regular season.That seems bad. But how are the rest of the Chargers doing?But James will be back soon, right?Ask Yao Ming how well foot fractures heal. This seems like a thing that could last a decently long time, and without James a really good Chargers defense will just be okay. The Raiders don’t play the Chargers until Week 10, and then again in Week 16, so it remains to be seen whether James will miss either of those games. Either way, the Chargers are one of Oakland’s biggest stumbling blocks as they try to reach the playoffs this season and beyond Hunter Renfrow Oakland Raiders Jersey , so any struggles they may have are good for the Silver and Black. No, Aaron, this is not clickbait.But, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was willing to say what his head coach was not last night after their Canadian adventure, the latest in a string of embarrassments for the NFL when they work in non-NFL buildings at home and abroad.With the team playing on an 80-yard Winnipeg field because no one in the NFL imagined having a hole in the end zone where the CFL goalposts used to be might be a problem, the Packers held out 33 of their players against the Raiders.Raiders coach Jon Gruden said the field wasn’t a problem for him, but Packers coach Matt LaFleur was perhaps trying to be polite to his Canadian hosts.“We made the adjustments we felt were in the best interest of our football team, and we moved forward,” LaFleur said, via the team’s official website. “It was a combination of a lot of things I really don’t want to get into right now. It is what it is. They weren’t playing their guys and I just didn’t want to put our guys at risk.”Rodgers was more direct. Via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, Rodgers said on the team’s television broadcast that his not playing was not related to the back tightness which caused him to be a healthy scratch last week, saying it was “nothing to do with [his sore] back Hunter Renfrow Jersey 2019 , it’s more the field conditions that we had tonight.”That means Rodgers will likely go through the preseason without playing a snap, which is better than the alternative they’re considering in Carolina this morning, where Cam Newton was injured in his first preseason game.“I feel confident in our preparation,” LaFleur said. “Hindsight is 20/20. I know we’re going to get second-guessed every which way, but I’m not too worried about it.“I’m concerned about how we go about our business and our mindset in that locker room, and I think our guys are confident.”If only the league could say the same thing, now that Winnipeg has joined Mexico City, Canton, and Dayton, Ohio (where A.J. Green was hurt in a league-arranged Bengals practice on an old college turf) for field-related fiascoes.
