rofl, comment of the day.
IMO, he'll probably be PUPed at first, and then evaluated from there. Belichick certainly isn't the type to hold a roster spot open for someone who may or may not be able to contribute.
He will see the field before watson or maroney....book it
IR means he can't practice with the team. It's a big hit to his development, I wouldn't say no so quickly. Especially as a normal ACL recovery says that he'd be ready sometime in training camp and certainly after being PUPed.To answer the OP's question directly and succinctly...NO.
If he's healthy, and he should be if his rehab went well, he will hopefully be returning kicks and getting WR reps in practice. It's a long term setback to not practice all year.I tend to dubt he will see the field in 2009. He is almost certain to start the year on PUP. He will practice with the team the maximum time he can without being activated and IRed after week 10. I just think roster spots are too valuable to use on a rookie coming off a significant injury who has missed minicamps, training camp, and the preseason.
It can be. But.Complete recovery from an ACL can be two years.
