Seems Team USA was wise not to invest in VW, as news is now breaking that Vernon’s set to undergo an MRI after injuring his left hamstring during a running drill.

This is the same injury that kept him out of the lineup for a month in the middle of last season.

The good news: This likely mean Alex Rios, a far better defensive player, will start the season in centre.

The bad news: VW is a notoriously slow starter and this injury means he’ll probably get off to an even slower start whenever he comes back.
