NFL TRAINING CAMP DAY 8

As we get closer to Sunday, and the end of training camp we are getting to see certain teams true colors to say the least. This past week has been a week of injuries for various teams. New York Giants Justin Pugh , rookie right tackle was diagnosed with a concussion Friday after a very  detrimental hit on Thursday. The Giants Right Tackle complained of head aches following Thursdays practice and was diagnosed with a concussion on Friday afternoon. Tom Coughlin explained to reporters the progress of Pugh concussion Friday. "He's going through all of the (concussion) protol, So he'll be out until he passes all that protocol." The New York Giants also expressed on Friday there worries about cornerback Corey Webster. Webster didn't practice Friday, because of groin strain. Tom Coughlin explained to reporters his thoughts on the injury and progress,"(Corey and the medical staff) are going to do what they have to do to turn that into something difficult." The giants are also dilling with some non serve injuries on there roster. The team is hopeing these injuries will be taken care of before, the first regular season game. Along with injuries this past week there have been various suspensions, starting with Baltimore Ravens starting corner back Asa Jackson. Jackson violated the leagues policy on performance- enhancing substances. Jackson will miss the first 8 games of the Ravens Regular season, because of the violation, and will also have no pay. John Harbaugh, Ravens Head Coach expressed his thoughts on the suspension Friday. "My reaction to that is that you've got to follow the rules, If you don't follow the rules you get suspended. That's a fair rule, there's no place for that, and he's getting what he deserves," Harbough said after practice Friday. We also have a update on the status of Tony Romo for the Hall of Fame Game and the Kick off  to the NFL pre season. Tony Romo explained to reporters Friday, that it might not be in the best interest for the team to let him play this weekend in the pre season opener. "I don't think they're talking about some of us going to play on Sunday, It's whatever Coach tells you. They know what's best for our football team." Romo told reporters at the end of Friday's practice.
