I hope its nothing really serious, hopefully not as severe as the injury that is likely ending ellis hobb's career. Would be awesome to have him back there for the playoffs. As others have said, his career and his life is far more important than this year though.

3. That he be able to return to the team this year.

Well said.

I get the reasoning as to why it might be an undisclosed structural injury rather than a concussion.

However, if it IS "just" a concussion -- well, they don't know when that will or won't clear up. Timetables for concussion recovery are about the vaguest timetables there are.

didn't they say brace was the guy that goes? (to IR)

Agreed. I don't want to see him have a permanent neurologic injury, either. Not knowing anything about the specific injury beyond what has been written, but I'd be surprised if this were somthing that severe.

Worried about his health and career definitely. Peter Mueller of the Colorado Avalanche for example still isn't playing due to a concussion he suffered towards the end of last season and would be a suprise to play at all this season. The unpredictability of the effects is horrible, almost 2 months he's been absent from all football related activity, very concerning.
