Hopefully this is just the coaching staff being cautious and keeping him out of camp.

Doesnt sound great though.

Well we have a cautionary tale still on the roster in Brooks, so extra precaution seems a foregone conclusion. Duh.

that could just be his way of saying "y'all just don't need to be worrying about that"

until there's something to panic over, i'm chill. and there's nothing to panic over at the moment. there's no need to rush it back and/or think that he's not doing everything that is needed to get him back and ready day 1.

Like I said the wording of persons piece was odd.  This is good news

Yeah, the other quote was a little odd but at the end of the day he's a football player not a public speaker. He's a veteran player who is one of the best on the league at his position and there's been no coaching or defensive scheme change so yeah, it's understandable why his goal is simply about being out there on opening day. For a guy like him OTAs and training camp aren't the goal. It's about the games that count.

12 months for a meniscus seems like a long time.

I was 275 when I had mine surgically repaired at age 35. I was back to work in 4 days and full strength in 2 months. I assume they are being ultra cautious with arguably our best player.
