Vick Ballard & Kendall Hunter out for the year

[Mike FF Today 608]

We're basically two days into training camp and we've lost two backup running backs. Both Vick Ballard (Achilles) and Kendall Hunter (ACL) are out for the season. It sounds like Cecil Shorts (hamstring) is going to miss a few weeks. I get the sense I'd better carve out some extra time for my next projection and rankings update.

Looking closer at Gerhart . The Jags WR problems are going to hurt is production . He will get the touches no question , but he could be running in mud a lot of them touches . Teams are going to load that box .

There goes hunter. Too bad. I always thought he could be a ray rice/darren sproles hybrid.

Can't wait for the preseason to see how Marcus Lattimore and Carlos Hyde fight for the backup job.

Not much of fight . I see Hyde winning hands down.
