That’s kinda where I’m at. Obviously the bigger guys need time. That’s a lot of weight thrown on those joints.
Getting Jenkins back after the Bye (for the 12/19 game against Rams) would give him a solid 13 months recovery, give him 4 games to shake-off the rust and be ready for the Super Bowl run.
Keep in mind he's a UFA in '23 so a good showing late-season & playoffs will only help his bargaining position.I think both of you guys are spot on. GB hasn't had a lot of experience with pro bowl and/or all pro linemen recovering from ACL tears. I mean all of our knees are pretty much the same. The bones, ligaments, and cartilage can't be strengthened by training, but the muscles around them can. The load we put on those needs changes with the weight of the individual. I guess it seems obvious but some of us, including me, forget.Getting Jenkins back after the Bye (for the 12/19 game against Rams) would give him a solid 13 months recovery, give him 4 games to shake-off the rust and be ready for the Super Bowl run.
Yes. Comeback player of the year. It was 10 days shy of 13 months
Thanks OldSchool. Now I remember the Comeback Player award too. Timelines are tricky, but you'd think a guy who weighs 300 plus pounds is gonna have to be more careful and take more time. I had my knee replaced two months ago and all seems fine. But the Drs. say expect a year before you're 100%. ACL repair and TKR are similar. Eight inch incision and a lot of work inside the knee. Recovery just takes time. Can't be rushed.
I hope that's correct Poker and that there's been an over-reaction. Personally, I'm not concerned about him being rusty. He jumped right in against Detroit.
He did, I even commented back then for all the kudos we'd been giving our Oline, it was apparent just how much they were missing with BakhT because when he stepped back in it looked so much easier for him than the other guys that had out there.
You’re way too optimistic my friend. show me PROOF!

Yes.

Now there is a waste of good money, I try to always just strictly put gas into my tanks!
It's no joke man. We're all going broke paying for gas.Now there is a waste of good money, I try to always just strictly put gas into my tanks!
It's impossible to rely on what the organization reports about players. Most of the time they're gaslighting before their next game to try and head fake an opponent. And in the off season they say next to nothing. I believe what I see when the game starts.
Gas isn't the only thing that has become super expensive for Americans and everyone else in the World. Tough times all over, hunker down and do your best, you could be living in Ukraine.
What the coaches, GM, players, etc. say hasn't changed all that much in the last 30 years. They seem to want to keep real information as close to the vest as possible. Competitive advantage, as well as just good company policy. What has changed is social media and the way things are reported out of context, incorrectly, etc. Also, fantasy football and gambling in general has played a huge roll in Sports. All these required injury reports and fines for them not being accurate, that isn't for the benefit of the teams in the sports, it is for the benefit of those who invest time and money into the outcome of Sports.
That's a good point about all the online betting and fantasy teams for $$$. And really, personnel info should be held close. I'm sure the league has some rules for reporting a player's status, and those categories really say nothing.
Yup and most of the personal stuff we hear/read is just hear say and stuff kicked up by fans and media. Clicks make people money, as well as make good water cooler conversation.
