Try to make me go to prehab

A day in the life of Terron Armstead. We begin in the morning with a story about how Terron is rested and ready.  Nothing broken. No sauce necessary.
With a full offseason under his belt, Armstead has put the injury behind him and is happy to be healthy as training camp kicks off.

“I feel good,” Armstead said on the first day of training camp. “Great to be out there with the guys. Every offseason I’m just learning more about prehabilitation and injury prevention, but there’s no secret sauce.”
Armstead is about three fifths of a great player.  When he's playing, he's an elite athlete; quick, agile, straight up fast, even. He'd be an ideal left tackle if he ever lasted a whole season at close to full strength. He's never played a full schedule, though, so it's expected that he's going to miss time. The Saints need to plan for that every season.  But this roster looks especially thin along the offensive line so it would help matters greatly if Terron were able to make it the whole way through. So it's good to see he's learning... "prehabilitation".. whatever that is.

Anyway, he probably needs to learn faster because here we are later in the very same day.

ARMSTEAD SCARE

The Saints had a scare late in practice when starting left tackle Terron Armstead limped off to the side with an apparent injury during an 11-on-11 drill. He went to the ground after getting behind the line of players and trainers immediately surrounded him as he lay on the ground. After a few minutes, Armstead eventually got up without assistance and appeared to walk without a noticeable limp. He eventually returned to the main group.
Nobody could have prehabbed for that.
