Vaki sidelined by broken nose and eye injury, opening RB3 competition.

Running back Sione Vaki, presumed to lock up the RB3 spot, has been struck by the injury bug again, this time suffering a broken nose and eye injury. This setback has opened the door for fourth-string running back Jacob Saylors to get significant playing time in training camp and the preseason, potentially threatening Vaki's roster spot.
