Real Salt Lake will be without Kyle Beckerman tonight, and I think you'd understand if that provoked a little bit of worry from yours truly before the team squares off against Columbus Crew.
Beckerman hasn't quite be an ever-present for the team in 2016, but he's come awfully close — save for a 31st minute red card in that dismal 2-2 draw to Portland Timbers and a subsequent suspension, he's played every minute of every match.
Of course, that match without out him was a 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City, so maybe the hyperventilation about his absence is breaking out a bit too soon — but bear with me here.
