Wow surprised he's not doubtful
Could be gamesmanship.. keep the Bears guessing.. then again if he's healthy.. he doesn't really need to practice he's that good.. I hope he sits if it's at all an issue.. don't want to aggravate and lose a season or something.. just to give him limited action here anyway...
Im thinking its this too.
They will prepare as Kittle is playing. Nobody needs to gameplan for there back up tight end. It's not like there game plan will drastically change without kittle
Kittle is an All Pro TE and presents a big challenge in terms of how you want to cover downfield. Big difference in terms of if he is out there or not.
Thus why you prepare as if he's going to play. And if he doesn't then you just change coverages accordingly. Just like if he got hurt in the middle of the game then they make adjustments and change accordingly.
