I really think Calloway steps up.

This is from JANUARY. Why did it take 6 months?!

While attending Tulane, worked at the hospital; one of the services that worked the same floor as our unit was orthopedics...

During that time working while in school, can tell you this is common in borderline decisons for Sx, and the Docs will try to see if the patient can heal sans Sx...

Kinda of the First Do No Harm philosophy that is implied in the Hippocratic Oath; Sx brings the risk of infection, delaying, even complicating, recovery...

The unrelated parallels (other than being New Orleans Saints) to the rookie breakout and subsequent injuries as Marques Colston incurred though are troublesome...

Not so worried about WRx as Calloway and Tre'Quan should be able to provide enough production; but the WRz is now that much more important...

Hoping the rookie Baker can take the opportunity for the slot targets as the WRs...

The opportunity for those targets is now Colonel Trautman...

I'm really pulling for Baker, great size and weight with really good hands. My dark horse so to speak.

I doubt that. Tre and Callaway have yet to prove that they can stay healthy. Will Sean allow these guys (K Baker as well) to compete? Absolutely but they will start bringing in veteran guys at some point for random workouts.

Emmanuel and Jared are no longer catching passes in NO.

Elective surgeries were impossible to schedule for the beginning few months of the year. I know that for certain here in Louisiana. I suspect it was the same elsewhere. A guy in my Sunday School class had to wait from February until late May to have knee surgery. My niece works for an orthopedic clinic and they didn't do anything other than emergency surgery for months, as well. Not saying this is the definite reason, but it may have been a factor.

Then again, he may have hoped it would heal on its own.

I don't doubt they'll be shopping around. It just may not be possible to bring one in now. Given that Thomas is expected to return they may not want to bring in a veteran replacement until after the beginning of the season to avoid the full season salary. Regardless, I think this team is going to do some special things. Winning is as much a mindset as a roster. These players are used to winning on a regular basis. I just don't see them folding their tents and shutting it down.

I don't know, this is BIG money. Sports ortho doctors do surgery ASAP with what NFL players pay. I'm more inclined to believe the 2nd point that the team doctors saw improvement and that it would heal itself and the results were not what they expected, so they recommended surgery.
