Wait, what?...

Not only should they not rush him back, but he needs to be reminded himself. Let’s not forget how young he is, he may be pressing himself to hurry as well.

I know the kid wants to play, but PLEASE for the love of God, do not rush it

Re: Saints to Activate Sheldon Rankins from PUP List

It doesn’t mean he’ll be ready to go week one... maybe not even the first couple games. It just means we expect him back sooner than mid-season. I can’t imagine we would use the roster spot though if he isn’t ready.

Not exactly all the way, he still has to build up his conditioning, he has to regain his strength, flexibility, and balance in the injured leg; and there's probably gonna be a little scar tissue that has to be worked away...

I'm pretty sure no one is going to rush him back. If he's off PUP, its because he's probably even ahead of schedule.

Re: Saints to Activate Sheldon Rankins from PUP List

Payton has been very conservative of letting players practice over the past couple of years if they were not physically recovered. Even if not in the lineup by week one, Rankins there week three/four is a very tangible asset. Our defense has just kicked up a large notch.

Dare I say ...

19-0 Baby!

Re: Saints to Activate Sheldon Rankins from PUP List

He needed to be activated before opening week, otherwise be wouldn't be eligible to return until week 6.

He isn't necessarily ready to return now.

And he wouldn't even be able to practice either.

And I thought the new rules sidelined PUP's until week 8 now.
