I personally would rather let him sit through the bye to continue to let him strength his knee, let him slowly get back to full speed, and then let him go crazy. I’m not a doctor and definitely don’t know what he is capable of or not, but I’d like to see the conservative route here to ensure the best possible long term outcome. My fear is that there will be injuries in Germany due to the stadium conditions. Seen a lot of it already in London.
The only acceptable answer to this is when he’s medically ready to play. Obviously everyone wants to see him play asap.
When he’s ready to play, and not before.
This is all contingent on him being healthy.
I would like to see him take some snaps against the pats to knock some rust off before the chiefs. If X or hill is out, I would like to see him take even more reps against the pats
As soon as he feels like he can
If he feels ready to give it a go, give him 10-20 snaps vs Pats.
If his body responds well the day+ after, full go vs Chiefs.
If his body tells him that was a bad idea, two full weeks of rest before Raiders. He should be a full-go from there on out.
