As per Sports Illustrated, after the practice, Dillon said about his injury, “They’re a lot different. Some are common; a lot of guys reference getting a stinger at some point… Some are more severe than others. You kind of look at it differently, but, like I said, we’re waiting to get opinions back.”

“I’ve been healthy throughout it all, not taking any days off, so I’m not going to be worried about us being cautious and try to make sure that I’m around the entire season rather than a day in camp,” he further added. However, due to the injury being quite severe, the team seems to have proceeded with caution and placed him on injured reserve and not designated to return.
