Remember he had surgery right after the Tampa game.

This is another surgery unfortunately.

If there was that much risk, he shouldn't have been cleared to play in the post-season. This has become a high-ankle injury with a Tommy John surgery time table. I don't know how this makes any sense. I fear whoever treated Thomas' ankle totally pooped the bed.


In other news, Dak is reportedly fully healthy, and that injury occurred at least a month after MT's. Go figure.

If I had to take a guess, Mike wanted to lay it all on the line for Drew, even while injured.

The hits just keep on coming. You definitely have to give Hill the nod. Winston won't have a chance without the #1 receiver.

That pass rush of Davenport, Cam J, Peyton and Tanoh really needs to bring it with authority :biggun:

Granderson is the guy that really steps forward this year...

That’s gonna be a tough out vs Green Bay.

With no league MVP Aaron Rodgers on our turf. They have obstacles, too.

He said said that explicitly. He said the only reason he played through the injury was for Drew.

Exactly. I think so, too.

Without our #1 receiver we need Hill at receiver more than ever. Why waste Winston on the bench doing nothing when he can be at QB and Hill out there catching balls, running the ball, making tackles, returning kicks, blocking, and coming in for the occasional wildcat. That would be the best use of our talent.

As posted on the FA thread, I'd go out and get Golden Tate, at least you'd have an offense that can keep you in it...

Not afraid to play rookies, and with Adebo replacing Jenkins, you have the same DB group you've had the last two seasons...

Are you available, JP?
