Lets cross fingers. Last season the Packers projected their All-Pro LT Bahkitari (sp?) to come back from a blown ACL in time for the start of the regular season. He didn't make it back until week 17.

The medicine around ACLs is much more predictable and overall with such better outcomes these days. That said, every guy's knee is different and there are no guarantees.

Yep started already. I been saying at least will start on PUP. It is what his team does.
This 2 to 3 weeks will then turn to start on PUP. Saying precautionary and will be 6 weeks, which will then be 8 weeks.
I would probably bet on it if Vegas had odds.

1st pick…WR Chris Olave….which I am ok with.

Bro, Chris Olave is good, but I would take Jameson Williams with our 24th pick if he's still available.

Yes, Jameson's torn ACL might not be fully healed by the time the season starts, but when fully healed, he is lights out better than Chris Olave. Jameson is another Amari Cooper but slightly faster and more athletic.

I don’t want them taking a player coming off an injury. It never pans out. Except for fools gold.

You OK with moving up? He's not going to be there when they pick.

Already at 2-3 missed games this early in the year?

He’s dead and they are attempting to rebuild him.

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.

1st round WR here we come!!
I think that was in the cards when they traded Cooper. I don't think they 100% on Lamb as the #1.

Add to this they watch the projected 1st round WR from AR carry his team from the WR position and he's a possession type WR and big.
