One thing you can bank on, the Joneses don't know squat about injuries. It's all best guess but they're always trying to be optimistic about something that doesn't need that. Booger did that with MB and then made the mistake about doing that with Ratliff. Ratliff needed surgery but it was healthy enough for him to chase Booger out of the locker room.
Is he really stupid enough to think he can minimize their injuries and have them respond favorably and "tough it out"? And they do not like letting docs speak to the media. Docs aren't spinners.
Will Gallup be 100% in 2022? If he is, he is in the minority. He goes up for balls and that takes a lot of trust in that repaired knee coming back down. Mentally, might take him the better part of the year.
Worst injury I can recall was Kevin Smith's when he was just peaking as a player and he ruptured his Achilles and was never the same. It was a real shame because his star was really shining Deion paid him the highest compliment before the injury when he corrected a reporter when he said Sanders was the #1CB. He smiled and said he was the #2CB on the Cowboys.
