Never heard of a minor variety with a torn ACL. They’re all nine month recoveries on average.

9 months from surgery, and that's above average. IF he can get surgery immediately, he MAY be able to practice by end of August/beginning of September. But if they hold him out from surgery it could be longer.

Steele was due for a big, shiny new contract most likely from some other team. He will now have to sign at least a one year contract to stay
with Jerry.

I feel terrible for him. Terrible as a rookie but REALLY improved year over year. Just brutal.

but sir...are you going to rest your hopes that Tyron will not again get injured rest of season with his many ailments?......NOPE....I am glad we have a strong O line room....we gotta mix and match as best

we can....Steele was grading out as one of top RT in whole league......i was scared when i saw them troll Ball out there as replacement.....Ball needs to gain tons more strength and weight or he will get

slapped around like rag doll

Remember Doug Free? He wasn't ready to play full-time until halfway through his 3rd season. Give Ball some time. He can still grow into a good player.

This hurts us badly this year and early 2023. We are destined for 12-5 again. MAYBE 1 and done. Eagles seem destined to win it all. They are very healthy.

Asking Jason Peters to play RT an entire game may prove to be too tall of a task to ask of him. They will have to find a way to spare him which is where Ball comes in. So now the challenge is finding the right ratio of snaps between Peters and Ball. Interesting times.

Some combination of Smith, Smith and Peters should be able to hold down the fort. Put Ball in the mix is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

3rd string Free safety now for them
yeah but thats not RT. We been missing starters all over the place...all year and now it gets more challenging. Heck, we started the year without our starting LT. I think the coaching staff has made this all work despite all the injuries but at some point I feel it will bite us.

Gotta use a 2nd or 3rd rounder on a RT in 2023. If Steele recovers then good but better to be prepared for the worst case
