X-Rays Negative on Russell Okung

Don’t know if this got posted in the game thread, but Okund suffered the sprain on the very first offensive play. From the replay, on my DVR…

It was Ben Hamilton’s fault! He gets beat by #77 Jenkins, and in his effort to recover, is knocked to one knee. Problem is his knee pins Okung’s right ankle to the turf.

Okung is tough! Stayed in for the next two plays. Tries a backside cut block on second down. And does a good job pass blocking on 3rd down! That’s the last we saw of him.

Hopefully not for long!

Maybe we could trade the Chargers Branch, Locklear and our #1 pick for Jackson and O’neill. I would do that in a heartbeat. I know O’neill is probably not a scheme fit, but hey he is a pretty good LT. It would be nice to have 2 LT’s on the same team. Okung could probably play RT for a a couple years and the o-line would be pretty aweome, plus you great depth to cover, high ankle sprains.

John, what did Okung hurt in the first preseason game? I saw he came out for a couple plays, and looked like his lower back or maybe tailbone area.

Is it just me or do first round O-lineman that hold out seem to always get hurt in their first year.

I’ve “watched” football for almost 50 years & played as a school kid but only with the internet started understanding the finer points. Could someone with more knowing than myself give opinion on Wrotto at L.T. I thought he looked fairly good.
