everything I know about biceps tears, I don't see any way he is back this season

How about don't rush a very expensive player recovering from a bicep tear back?

Just get Mays healthy and Corbett is a very good OG.

This is the way.

Also, drafting depth guards and tackles is extremely necessary in April based on our history...

its a 4-6 month recovery; hunt got injured and had the surgery back in september

his position requires grabbing and blocking 300+ pound DT (vita vea)

no amounts of elbow bracing, rehab, etc. can prepare that surgically repaired bicep to handle 300+ pound linemen in that short amount of recovery timeline

I don't remember. It came up during training camp I think. I could have been last year. But they have 2 coaches for the oline. One for tackles and one for guards and center. I would have to look at the staff listing to get you their names but you can do that yourself. 

That's...odd

If we do this(bring him back soon), it better be with the intent to jettison Hunt when he re-injures this. Otherwise, it will be insanely foolish from a short term and long term perspective.

Hes not coming back. He might get cleared to do some sort of work

This is the answer. 

My feeling is that they may have rushed Brooks back a bit last year. Hard to say without knowing and different injury types/history/age, but I'd rather have a healthy Hunt for TB or 100% for the start of 2026 vs. re-injuring himself.

Corbett at OG is as good as a rusty Rob not at 100%. 

Brooks had plenty of time. ACL rehabs shouldn’t take that long these days. There was a botch in there somewhere, but I doubt more time was the answer.

At the rate injuries are increasing, teams need another 4 slots just to stash backups for the season.

Now imagine this at the upcoming 18 games/season.

His only decent games he had was when he played left guard last season. He's been straight up ass everywhere they put him this season. 

He played left guard next to Ickey in college. He's much more comfortable there and appears a competent NFL player on that side.

And it's an easier position to play.

An 18 game season combined with the current offseason training restrictions...

What could possibly go wrong?

A guy like me could make the recovery from September to December, but sometimes I forget these guys are human.
