Gil Brandt predicts Week 14-15 return for Jaylon Smith

[Smashin222]

I know he's predicted this before, but I believe that was in August. That his opinion is consistent in mid-October is probably good (better than worse!). Had dinner with Jaylon Smith, discussed the knee, came away still thinking Week 14-15 return.

What's Brandt heard on Jaylon Smith's return from injury?
Barry Horn: Did Jaylon [Smith] give you any insight into his knee [when they had dinner together recently]?

Gil Brandt: He's feeling good. I think that he could come back later on this season, maybe the 13th-14th game of the season. Now he's doing everything. He tells me he's cutting on it and so forth.

Could you imagine if we get him for the playoff push and run? That could make us an instant Super Bowl contender going into the playoffs IMO.

It's not his knee that is a issue.

Not expecting it, but that would be sweet. I would just have him rush the passee if that's the case. The dude is a stud at that.

Even if he's healthy, he's still a rookie playing his first few games. He's not going to come in and be an all pro.

Athletic freak, extremely smart and he'll have had all season to study. He'd be a huge upgrade immediately IMO.

More unfounded speculation that people will take and run with.

If things were that promising, who thinks Jones is not talking about it?

That is a significant point nobody acknowledges either.

Nowhere have I read anything definitive about the knee firing. Have I missed something?

Exactly. The whole comment seems bizarre. To mention a return and not address the zebra in the room (the nerve). Especially when we've heard no positive medical reports at all...to then speak of a guy playing NFL football in two months?

Joey Bosa says "Hi".

I'm kidding, actually, but I'm not going to over or under rate the kid until we see him in uniform.

I thought he cannot cut without the nerve working?

 

[BAZ]

OK, but who starts between him and Rolando?

 

[RS12]

Has Gil been texting Dan Cooper, or is this Jerry getting a bright idea and sending him out there with a brace but the nerve not firing.

 

[waldoputty]

if that happens, you can have lee, smith and mcclain as 3 lb's?

It's the nerve for the foot, but knee

 

[JDSmith]

I'm sure it's working fine, they just aren't telling Jerry because everyone knows he can't keep a secret. We're going to unleash him on the NFL without warning, it'll be totally ninja.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

although not officially released, I believe it's a foregone conclusion Rolando's days in Dallas are over. I think there's financial implications of releasing him now and is why he hasn't been so yet

lol, if that happens, it would be epic
