That said, when will he return?

High ankle sprain is a nagging injury, then a hamstring injury on top of that. He won't be back soon enough because we really need him this week against the Bucs. 49ers the next week, and Falcons after. The next 3 week will probably determine playoff seeding.

I have a feeling he could have played this past week, but it makes sense to give him an extra week for the big game against Tampa.
