The injury list continued to mount on Wednesday, as wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and linebacker Barkevious Mingo missed the day’s session.
Bowe (who hurt his hamstring) and Mingo (a knee injury that will require an MRI, according to The Beacon Journal), joined Terrance West, Duke Johnson, Luke Lundy, Malcolm Johnson, Terrelle Pryor, Billy Winn, K’Waun Williams and Robert Nelson as non-participants.
“I know it’s a part of camp, but that’s something we try to prevent,” Pettine told the team’s website. “We really stress being proactive with it, getting the sleep the hydration, the nutrition. We evaluate how we do things all the time. When that number starts to get above what the norms are, then that’s an area for concern and that’s something as an organization that we’re looking to address.
“Also, a lot of it comes down to the player, as well, just making sure that they’re doing the right things. It is a source of frustration when you have limited (players) and when it starts to pile up at a position, and now, you have a ripple effect that starts to effect the other guys and their repetitions and then you have to look at the overall picture of practice and cut down on reps and there are guys at other positions that need reps. Like I said, sometimes the consequences of it are frustrating.”
While Pettine said the hamstring issues of Bowe and Pryor are not serious, he said that Pryor may not be able to participate in Friday’s team scrimmage at Ohio Stadium, which would slow Pryor’s attempts at making the team as a wide receiver.
