They say he’s ahead of schedule but I’m still thinking week 6-8ish. Texans game after the bye makes sense 

In corbetts presser earlier this week he made it sound like he will be ready by end of pup - thinks he can play sooner but it’s up to the front office

They sounded optimistic about Zavala as well. Believe they said he could be available for some preseason action.

The offensive line has 5 starters at any given time--more than any other position group, but you really need 7-8 that are starting quality.  Personally, i do not think BC is a LG, but is perfect to be a swing OT for 2023 and could replace Moton in 2024 when his contract explodes to $30m.  I seriously think Zavala and Corbett will be the starting guards for most of the season.  Mays is an ideal backup at C and both G spots, as is Jensen.  If they all work out--that is eight players with starting ability--problem is, they do not have the starting ability right now (injury, experience). 

Backups for 2023:  Christensen (eventually--not right now), Mays, and Jensen.

Starters for 2023 (later in the season):  Ikwonu, Zavala, Bozeman, Corbett, Moton.

Guard is not our only problem.  Tackles looked terrible last game as well.  

Zero concerns on tackle, those 2 are proven 1 preseason game means nothing for them. Now the swing tackle/backup is an issue but hopefully they never see the field

I could get on board with that.

I feel like it's always worth mentioning when we're talking O-Line that as a position group, chemistry / continuity matters probably more than it does anywhere else on the field. You could argue secondary is up there too but I think the line is where it matters most.

Keeping that group together was a big part of what made us successful last year. Here's hoping the same applies to this season as well.

      The lack of discipline has seriously been our downfall the last month. Seems like we just went off course this last month and Lee won't address it. You can't just live and die by the 3 when you can attack the paint and at worst draw a foul

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents
