Saw on Twitter that they expect him to be on the field in October. No idea if that is smart or not, but there is a real chance he could play this year.

after seeing where the tear was

1st thing I said to CB was..... hey man he could easily play by the midway point 2017,,, now they have the Pup setup in such a way we just might see the kid out there.

That would be good, if not too early. I am unaware of the actual tear till you brought it up.
Thanks!

I will not create any expectations....

..regarding this kid's recovery.

He will be ready when he is ready.

[McCarthy12]

Yeah, I mean, I wasn't expecting him to contribute this year. I want him healthy, but if he can get on the field without it being rushed, then that's great. Sounds like his injury wasn't as horrible as a lot of similar knee injuries.

This kid has allot to prove to those who passed on him, I hope he heals fully.

FWIW, all the draft picks signed today except Barnett. Also they announced the UDFA list as well as the Rookie Tryout list.

Red shirt him. Basically adds a year to his contract.

No reason to use him for half a rebuilding season.

If he can play I say work him in slowly. He will not have had the benefit of a training camp. I think you let him play a limited role with the objective of being fullly prepared for the 2018 season.

Of course all of this depends on what he does if he gets on the field and where the Eagles are if that happens.
