David Bailey

No. 31 · Rookie

Bailey hobbled off, but the ankle is minor.

David Bailey, the number two overall pick, took a hit during Saturday's training camp practice and limped off the field with an ankle injury. The medical read came back quick: minor. He is not expected to miss significant time.

For a player drafted that high, any injury in August carries weight — not because this one does, but because the clock on proving yourself starts the moment you sign. Bailey will sit out a few reps, rest it, and be back. The injury itself is not the story. What matters now is the next practice, when he returns and the film looks the same as it did before.
