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.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
