A tweaked back would not allow you to do that, and you wouldn't want to even chance it leading up to a game if things are tender. I think that his back is probably fine.As for ramping up though, I disagree. Yes Parsons is a generational talent, he's different, blah blah blah. I just don't think that Game 1 against any opponent is worth risking a hamstring or other injury because he hasn't ramped up in the preseason like everyone else. To me it's like firing up a Lamborghini. You would drive it around a little to warm up the engine and the tranny before hammering the throttle. While there is a 75% change that Parsons won't get hurt, it's the 25% (or 10%, etc.) chance of getting hurt that isn't worth it. There is too much history to ignore regarding top players skipping camp and then getting injured in the first week or two.</blockquote>
