Get it?

Being medically "cleared" and being 100% aren't always the same thing. He might be ready enough to play by week 8, but not 100%. In which case, why rush him back against a bad team, with the bye week immediately following?

Now, if he IS 100% by week 8, then there is no debate. Trying to predict exactly how healthy someone is going to be at an exact moment is not an exact science... To be exact.
