Does that mean he can participate in all the OTAs? 

Possible, but I would say odds are against him. OTAs will be anywhere between end of May to Mid June and he hasn't been running on his leg in a couple months. He'll need to get his endurance nad strength back and I doubt he'll be fully cleared within just 2 months, but hopefully he'll recover quick.

To add to this. He's running but that doesn't mean he can do cuts, jukes, stopstarts, and other running drills that put pressure on his ankles. Running just means treadmill or strait line the other parts of being a receiver will be a while. So I am positive he won't do much at otas

Well said. 

I would expect him to be brought along slowly.  In shape by training camp would be a good goal.  Working on cuts and routes can come later.

I have a feeling we are going to see a limited amount of Samuel this year. I think he will really be in shape and able to play fast and make all the cuts he needs towards to end of training camp; but with Wright and Byrd here they will get the snaps to start the season with Samuel maybe coming in more mid/late season. I also think year 3 is going to be his big year, full OTA and camp + less competition at the slot spot. 

 

Hopefully I am wrong and he balls out this year; I think this kids got all the potential and drive to be great.

    • I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).
    • I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move 
    • While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
