Not looking good - they'll keep him on the roster this year and probably release him after the season, if he doesn't improve.
How much did he make last year and how much is he gonna hit the cap this year?

I think he made $7M last year and they save nothing on the cap by releasing him.

Although I would like him back ASAP, tend to agree with you. He should be given ample time to recover. I believe the dude is an offensive force, and he still may show us that he is. But if we rush him, he may never be right .

Ya double injury for lattimore but they are experiencing the same problems with recovery. Lattimore tried to practice but suffered near the same setbacks. Knee always painful after practices. Setback after setback. Seeing a lot of similarities in how there knees are responding.

Their injuries are not the same, lattimore was taking pain medication to get through practices, that's a totally different situation.

JETs injury was non contact right ? Lattimores was gruesome contact and lucky to walk again after that.

Lattimore tore all his ligaments - McKinnon I believe just tore the ACL.

Swelling a year out is not a good sign. It's not his fault. Some people are just predisposed to chronic inflammation after localized trauma. Anything can happen. But I would be surprised if it goes away permanently.

I'd say he was pretty fortunate considering he tore every ligament in his knee and had nerve damage.
Everyone isn't Adrian Peterson with these ACL injuries. Thankfully we aren't dependent on him this year and we have Tevin Coleman now who can be a number one. For once, it's nice to know an injury here or there won't devastate the team.
Jet is made out of glass. We should cut our losses now.

Nahh not really, before the injury did anything really stand out to you?? Coleman and Brieda are just as good if not better catching the ball and I shouldn't even have to talk about running the ball. He's a good player but he will not change an offense or make it dynamic

he has the speed, the route running and catching ability that kyle loves. dude is supposed to be a mismatch problem, jet is not a bad player at all and hes perfect for this scheme. Its a damn shame he hasnt been healthy so many here can actually realize what he brings. Having coleman and jet possibly on the field together and its going to be a nightmare for defenses
It's been almost a full 12 months and still complications. Terrible sign.
