K Benji is looking really good...wish we could have him for the Playoffs

[Hotsauce]

By everything I have read and seen on his social media, it looks like KB13 is back from his injury. 

Would it have been absolutely absurd to have kept him on the 53, if we knew we would be where we are today (#1 seed in playoffs)?

I know that roster spot was needed, but could you imagine having him back on Sunday? 

How much rust would he have?

Or Mr. GM, would you have been too nervous bringing him in with zero snaps in 2015 and fear re-injury?

I can't figure out how to post his video, but he is balancing on a bonzi ball on one leg and catching passes. Impressive!

^ What he said.

KB is a big dude.  Awesome hearing he's doing great with rehab.  Hopin he hits camp next year with the strongest tendons on the team.

Glad Benji is recovering ahead of schedule, but noone in their right mind would clear him to play 4.5 months after an ACL tear.  That would be utterly moronic.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Even if he was technically ready to go, I wouldn't risk it. Let him heal and come back to help the team repeat next year.

That said, God I want to see this offense with Kelvin Benjamin.

While he's a great receiver, you don't want to interrupt the mojo Newton has with the other guys that he's built on all season

If Benji were to come back I could almost guarantee the offense may sputter quite a bit as the timing and chemistry would take a little while to build up. Let them focus on that in the offseason

[uncfan888]

There is zero chance he could have played this year after an ACL injury...   Doesn't matter how good he looks in videos

[L-TownCat]

It's good in a way that we are still going in the playoffs, it probably makes it easier for him to come in everyday with the energy that building has right now.

Don't go on instagram.  

 

"Is Benjamin back?"

"Not quite but he may be able to play a few snaps if we make the super bowl"

 

Idiots abound

[SOJA]

no way am I letting a potential top 5 wr come back this quick from an ACL tear, it would be unprecedented for good reason 

[PhillyB]

no. that's how you get an RGIII on your hands.

keep benji healthy and he and cam will rule the league for the next decade.

[nctarheel0619]

With the medical advances, wouldn't surprise me within the next 10-15 years if ACL injuries don't take as long to comeback from.  

[Diehardpanther02]

As bad as it sucks to see him injured it will just make next season that much more exciting.  He will come back with a vengeance and by the looks of it with better hands than we could of imagined.  You would be suprised how much an injury could benefit a player allowing them to build on the small things like in that video, and in the film room.

What I want to know is, why can't we get some post-1999 in the trainers' room?

[Hoenheim]

At this point it's a lot more important for him to have made a full recovery and a whole offseason then training camp to slowly go back into things and come back very strong next year . Just think of it this way he'll make an already great offense lethal next year.

Its going to be great to have a true #1 WR again next year that being said. I'd rather line him and funchess up on the outside with Ginn tearing up the slot.
