    For the 2nd week in a row, Philip Rivers was caught on camera grimacing and grabbing at his right knee. He started the year out looking good on that knee, but I'm wondering if the consistent pressure on it through practice and such is starting to make it ache a little bit.

    Last week he was caught on camera holding it and walking with a slight limp, and the same this week.

    He's a fucking warrior and he will never admit that it is bothering him at all, and he'll play through it no matter what, but he's started the season rather well and we can't afford to have him take a major hit. He is going to be a star QB in this league and needs to put his career and his team first. If the knee is indeed hurt, take a rest from practice and get some treatment on it.

    Without a healthy Rivers I don't know if you guys can get too far this year.

    That's definitely something to follow especially since he's shown he can be dominant and be the most vital player on your roster this season.

    The offense has shifted to being more oriented around Rivers than LT this year, we must keep him healthy. The past two games he has taken a beating because our Offensive line has disappeared. To add to the knee concerns, he has sustained a few bruised ribs in the past two weeks.
