Thomas has suffered two serious injuries in his career. He played in no less than 15 games each of the previous four seasons. He may go ten years without another injury or get injured on another freak play on the first snap.

Sadly, it's a young man's game. When we age we heal slower, hurt more, and have old lingering injuries that haunt our comebacks. I know, I've had several comebacks that were limited by injury. Things like joints are weaker. Michael Thomas' game conditioning could be called into question having played so little in the last three years.
I've been successful coming back from injury, but I was rarely a starter at that point, and was more of a role player toward the end before one of my previous injuries shut me down completely. Of course, I was 60, so....
We need MT to be fully healthy and I hope he can but I'm not enthusiastic just yet.
Freak injuries occur but they happen more often to players who aren't ready for contact. MT might be ready before TC. Fingers crossed.:beatnik: |
