Still limping looks like , just like last time

Huh?

He doesn't look like he's limping...he's wearing a knee brace.

Ahhh he wasn't injured when they signed him. He didn't tear his ACL until like a week before week 1

It seems he even wants to surpass Trent at bringing in more injured players and keeping them around

It seems like he already passed up Baalkaca in that area #InjuryPronePlayers

Only he wasn't injured when they signed him...come on kids if you're gonna make fun of him might as well be correct about it

plenty of other dudes you can throw out there besides jet, if you're going down that road...

Guy tears his ACL around this exact time last year and some of you are surpised he's not back to 100% yet? He's not a QB, the position he plays completely relies on being explosive. People screaming to cut him make zero sense when he's close to getting healthy.

Yea, hasn't been a year for him. I keep forgetting about that. Crazy how fast Kwon has come back from it though.

At this point I think he is a waste of a roster spot tbh. We have 3 better RB's than him. I would put him on IR for the time being

Gore is the only player that not only overcame one ACL, but two.

Robert Smith

Both were FANTASTIC when they finally got healthy, but Gore was an iron man and a true work horse.

I don't know this to be fact, but i suspect no player has as many snap counts on his repaired legs as Gore does.

sorry dude, I don't see it...he didn't have the brace last time he went out on the field earlier in TC.

Not saying he doesn't go on IR (good chance) kid hasn't really run in like a yr.

Best thing to do is to put him on IR

Put him on IR with designation for return and if he's still not ready, cut his ass.

If we need to do that then we should cut our losses and look for a RB from roster cuts.

We can't straight out cut Jet, if we do we lose another $2.6M, which is GTD for injury next year.

What does GTD mean? We are so far under the cap that $2.6M is nothing. Sometimes, you must move forward as there are other talents we overlook while waiting for the injured.
