3 ACL injuries w/ anticipated returns. Discussed @fantasypts further

Burrow:
*Best case: W1
*Possibile case: W9 (PUP)

PUP can’t be ruled out & will depend on his progress in August. It makes projecting this really tough. Once back the concern is rushing due to apprehension.
1/
Barkley

*Likely W1

Freak athlete w/ 11 months to recover. Setbacks still possible, but a near slam dunk if he stays the course. Concern, as w/ all post-ACL, is soft tissue trying to re-acclimate to workloads

2/
OBJ

Another freak athlete w/ 11 months to recover. Similar outlook as Barkley. The concern is longterm for OBJ as he’s 29 and not out of the woods in terms of soft tissue after ACL. In dyno, I’m looking to get out of the OBJ biz

3/
Timelines can change on a dime and individuals can have setbacks. Burrow’s is the most complicated by his situation. W1 seems rushed after this massive injury and even if W1 is do-able, why would CIN risk it if he’s not legit 100%? Stay tuned for updates
