I saw something about this in another thread, then caught this note on another site :

Quote
  • WR Stephen Hill spent a few minutes under the tent while a trainer looked at his surgically repaired knee. Hill eventually walked back onto the field, but this is the second time his knee has acted up this week. The sense inside the team is he's not close to the same player he was before the injury, which included three torn knee ligaments and a hamstring.

 

 

Can anyone provide any additional correspondence on this? I figured I'd have seen this here 1st since it's the first site I usually reference for updates.

The word between all of us Huddlers is that he's fine.  He tore three ligaments, which is pretty gnarly; I think KB only tore one.  It will take him longer to get back into it.  I think it's perfectly normal that he would have his knee looked at during practice.  Also, I wouldn't look into the bold portion too much.  He probably lost some speed, but he was already fast as hell, so he'll still be above average.

His injury was a lot worse than KB's, so it's going to take him more time to get back to 100%, if he even can.  IMO, Voth didn't even need to include that line, and I'm not really sure why he did.  Of course he's not close to the same player he was.  His knee exploded this time last year... that takes a hell of a lot longer than just an ACL.

He also responded to a tweet asking about Byrd, and his thought is it'd be redundant to have Philly, Ginn and Byrd on the squad. Meaning, if Byrd makes the squad it'll be at Philly's expense.

I saw that, and think it's a dumb comment as well.  They're going to keep the best receivers on the 53.  It would be pretty dumb to keep a lesser receiver, simply because he's "different" than Ginn/Philly.  Even if you only keep 5(KB/Funch/Ginn/Philly/Byrd), you can fill any role necessary with that group.  KB can play 1/2, Funch & Ginn can play all 3, Philly/Byrd can play 2/slot.  There's nothing that isn't covered, and you have all size/speed ranges to do any mixing/matching you want.

No way philly gets cut. Then who is the 5th receiver?

Its sad but I think he will be gone with the first round of cuts. we simply have no room for him. I kinda had this feeling last year, if you go back and see how badly he torn his knee up its no surprise that he will never be the same, and he was a player who relied on speed. I just hope for his sake he doesn't push his knee over the limit these next couple weeks.

Actually, every time I see Norwood in scrimmage video it seems to me he looks really really good. A stronger, younger, faster Cotchery.

Norwood as WR5 wouldn't surprise me a bit.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
