Chase Claypool ankle injury reportedly minor, should be fine

For almost every NFL team, the main objective in training camp is to not just evaluate the talent you have on your 90-man roster, but also to avoid major injury. You see it every season, players tearing ACLs or rupturing Achilles tendons. Those type of injuries end your season before it even begins. And for some, it can be career-threatening.
