Delvin Breaux ahead of schedule (week 6 return?)

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Still, he won't be the same player until at least next year. Should we bring him back too early and risk re-injury or the possibility of ruining the rest of his career?...

It's not a soft tissue injury, it's a broken bone. If the bone is healed, then it's healed. In fact, when a broken bone heals it is actually thicker than before.

He posted a video of himself running on a treadmill so it's definitely looking like he'll be good to go in a week or two.

True, while it is thicker & harder, it is also less flexible at first, which comes back with time...

And the Saints medical team has the Saints management compensating them, not Delvin Breaux...

If I were Del Breaux, I'd still get an independent medical opinion before coming back...

He can be primed for a major payday and that could evaporate quickly should he come back too soon and aggravate the injury...

Being ahead of schedule doesn't mean we're rushing him back before he's ready.

How many of you are on the Saints medical team?

Unfortunately we've seen it happen many times where Players come back too soon.

I think if there's anyone who knows about coming back from an injury it's Breaux. I trust his judgement.
