Injuries are spreading across the league like the plague. Craig’s best friend, Luther Burden III (01:35), is going to miss the rest of the offseason. The Lions' offensive line is managing an injury at center already (13:59), and Washington left tackle Laremy Tunsil (20:19) might be out for the year with a torn triceps. Running backs J.K. Dobbins and Christian McCaffrey (25:54) are missing practice now, too.
Some quarterback questions: Who would you pick in a fight: Kirk Cousins or Maxx Crosby (32:34)? Is Carson Beck the future of the league (34:13)?
The guys round out the show with Australia travel plans for Rams-49ers (52:56), the new worst jerseys of all time (01:00:41), another Will Levis blunder (01:03:36), and some emails (01:04:23).
