6-8 weeks.

So what are you thinking... 6-8 weeks?

I've heard from a panel of experts who have are saying anywhere from 3 weeks to career-ending

DISREGARD. Was writing post before I saw the previous couple of replies.

I'd say prepare for AT LEAST 8 weeks. Depending on severity/complications, could be longer.

It's not just waiting for the bone to heal. It's then getting the strength back. Then it's working your way back to game shape. Then it's getting back up to speed with all the missed snaps up to then.

There's stories of fibulas that took only 3 weeks to completely heal, and then there are those that say they were never the same. So whatever the case, I hope he doesn't get rushed back too early.

We do still have Fairley and Davidson, so hopefully the others can step up behind them for the forseeable future.

True, and we also have Jenkins and Richardson who can slide inside pretty effectively. If Jenkins is at 330 he's probably a good fit for pushing the pocket. If he's back up top 360+, he doesn't really help us there at all.

Its a blow, but its not devastating.

It's devestating not having your predicted starter starting that NEVER works out, & if so name a time I like Richardson there but Jenkins isn't going to suffice there a reason we drafted Rankins where we did or even bringing Kevin Williams back would soften the blow but the damage is done
