“Karl has done everything to play through any type of pain and he’s put the team first,” Saunders said. “You can’t say enough positive things about the way he’s done that. We want to make sure we take care of his body then, too. So over these next couple of weeks at least, it’s one of these things where other guys will have to step into larger roles and then you see if they can handle a heavier load. When Karl is in the mix, then you can see how all those guys fit with it.”
