Pangai JR aggravated a rib cartilage injury during Friday’s captains run.

The man they call TPJ has always been attuned to a SuperCoach’s voracious need for team news and information.

Earlier in the season, while he was doing a TV interview, he advised SuperCoaches to take him out of their teams because he was putting away the offload.
