He posted he’s fine and it’s not serious on social media though
If healthy, he’d be a very nice option off the bench against RB in a few weeks. That would be 4 weeks since his injury, and depending on severity, could be possible. Just don’t ever want to rush a hamstring.

There is no way Tajouri makes the 18 this match, right? Having him travel across the country for a winnable game with a longtime starter ready to step up, after being subbed out with a hammy injury... that'd be silly

I would be surprised if they even let him on the flight. 5 hours cross country is not good on healthy muscles, much less those needing to heal.

Agreed. Not even on a podcast

They discussed briefly on SITC, but nothing new. Some speculation that he was reacting to the turf and didn't really pull a muscle.
 
I am kind of worried about this one. Seems like a classic trap game after a big emotional result against Atlanta.

We are traveling across country. Portland is off to a slow start, but there are a lot of good reasons why they will play better Sunday than earlier this season. They began the year with 5 road trips, including 3 across country to Eastern teams and another to Dallas. On Sunday, they're at home in front of that amazing crowd.

This is going to be tougher than it seems, and our guys need to be ready.
 
So the only questions for this game are LW and LB right? I assume Villa slots back in at ST. So does Berget move out left, or does Wallace come in and start? And can we please get Mata instead of Sweat?

Berget is rounding into form. He’s gonna play the left, and very likely switch up with Villa a bunch - make life hard on the CBs having to choose who to mark.

This is of course if Villa is 100% healthy. He came into the match last week much earlier than planned, and we have no idea if the turf had an adverse effect on him.
