Week 1 of the NFL preseason is almost in the books (Dallas vs. Oakland is tonight) and injuries have already reared their ugly head. Across the NFL, teams are missing vital players at key positions. This makes evaluating talent difficult and getting any rhythm on offense or defense consistently hard.
