I do not read where "he is working with the trainers on the sideline" and yet he doesn't seem to be getting reps (at least not reported ones). Anyone have an idea of where his recovery stands?
He's been getting reps. Just not 1st string reps. Not yet. Most agree he still looks hampered by the injury. We're only 8 months out from it, that's an insanely short amount of time for an ACL.
Thanks. Given the injury to Jerry and the general questioning of the offensive line, I am surprised none of the beat writers have talked about him (at least not that I have seen). He would seem to be an answer to many of the issues. You are of course correct that the recovery time is still quite short. Kinda surprised they didn't start him on PUP if he couldn't go full strength??? Curious?
They talk about him. But mostly within the context of him still not looking ready to make a real run at the starting job.
They have talked about him. He was mentioned when he started to get reps. And it's been mentioned that he'd be the likely starter over Jerry if he can get healthy. The big caveat they keep saying is that he clearly doesn't look healthy now.
JJ, Samuda, D. Thomas, Louis have all rotated in and out of the lineup and none seems to have distinguished himself (possibly JJ was the best option there, but now that he's injured, we don't know that either)... I think they wanted JJ to win the job, but now he can't even do that so it's going to be up to Samuda or Louis. They must have figured that LL wasn't quite ready to be back at his old self yet, Samuda has kind of surprised a bit and even Thomas has had a few moments as well... Like the coaches, we're just going to have to have a little more patience and see how these guys shake out....
