Will still need 8 weeks though; candidate for IR-recall.

He will go on PUP

He will go on PUP

It's shocking how people can just state wrong facts, as if they are completely right.

Can't put someone on pup who practiced

Actually Stephen said it could be less than 8 weeks..

If we can hold our own during the first half of the season we will be in position to make a playoff run. Should be another interesting year!

 

[John813]

Have they already put him on IR or not yet?

Good news, 8 weeks or hopefully less is better than being lost for the season

Good news. And in no way do I want make more of this than it is. But getting good injury update info make me feel like the team is living right. It seems like there are some years where you lose your starting QB to a stupid clavicle injury, and others where you have key role players like Crawford and Hitchens seemingly lost for the year and they end up missing relatively few games between them.

Now, if we can just get off easy with Elliott and Wilson, I'll believe we're onto something.

Two weeks ago, nobody liked Hitchens around here. Now, he's Mike Singletary in a red cape.

I've always thought he was a solid role player. He's been having a good camp which is the biggest bummer.

We love injured players who can't play

Now if only we could spend a second round pick on him. That would seal the deal

It's shocking that someone thinks they are correct even though they are wrong? If you think something is correct youre going to state it as a fact. I was wrong he can't be put on PUP. I don't see why it's so shocking that somebody is wrong about something.

More like people expected him to be similar to Sean Lee, he was playing well, just not like Sean Lee. Smith and Durant are going to be less effect than Hitchens IMO
