Wonder if he will be back for the Bucs game!

I'd like to have him but I hope they don't rush him back and he gets reinjured right at the end of the season

I wouldn't do it. Give him the off-season to fully recover. He's a huge piece of the Oline, but I think it's really not worth it this season. If we somehow make the playoffs, maybe for that game, but that would be the only way I'd even think of bringing him back this season.

Basically how I feel, it's way more important for him to be healthy next year. I hope they learned something from bringing Jonathon Brooks back too early and he was out for yet another year.

If we weren’t in contention I doubt they bring him back, but since we are, they did.

This makes 15 weeks since the injury.  Let him practice this week, see how he responds.  If he feels good, let him play week 18 at Tampa unless we manage to clench this week then you hold him for the playoffs.

If he's actually ready then bring him along slowly there's no need to rush anything. We have a solid OL and a very solid OL coach in the meantime. Just let it play out naturally.

It would be nice to have someone in there that would not trip our QB once a game.

3/4 hunt is better than 100% Corbett

I hear that but also the QB isn’t getting the depth on the first step like he is supposed to. That came in a press conference with the head coach. Faulted both players.  
 

As far as Hunt, a fresh Hunt at this stage of the season could be a nice boost if he is ready.

We can't play for next year every year.
