And yet those four will probably see the field while Mix is sitting in the stands..... [sigh...]

No Saunders! Yes EIRIK!
 
They are Heart Rate monitors and GPS so that the training staff knows exactly how they're handling the stress of practice/games and their effort levels/distance
That was my other thought but thought HR monitors had to have skin contact. Thanks.

So no Brillant or Jack in terms if healthy players. Makes sense, I suppose, in terms of guys who don't need more minutes at this point. Brillant has logged a lot of minutes, tends to get beaten up and has a new baby.

I was thinking that even if he didn't play, the trip would be both fun and enlightening for Harrison. I wonder if he traveled, but not as part of the "squad," or if he's got a few days off to rest at home?
 
Dumb question; what are those half vests that they train with? Is it weighted?
