he took a comebacker in the fourth inning on the elbow

seemed to pitch fine after it, but probably just being cautious. He’s in line for the win, which at this point is probably all that matters

I think that with a good QB under center (such as Reesing) he’s more valuable to the team as a WR. He’s got some skills there that you can’t find everyday in wideout, both tangibles and intangibles.
