And he went down in pain every week from it and had to leave every game until they shut him down for the season. THAT'S the example you want our new training staff to follow? They fired the old training staff for mishandling Breida's injury.
And Breida never had a month worth of recovery like Bosa will have.
THATS THE DIFFERENCE
And the medical staff is going to be extra cautious with the injury because they don't want to repeat the mistakes from last year.
I think Barrows hit the nail on the head in his article a few days ago:
Yes, Shanahan has said the "hope" is that Nick Bosa (ankle), Jerick McKinnon (knee), Jason Verrett (ankle), Weston Richburg (knee, quadricep), K'Waun Williams (knee) and Taylor (foot) are back before Week 1, but my experience is that you should always take the "over" when it comes to injury return dates. (And when a player tells you how many weeks he thinks he'll miss, multiply that number by three.)
When the 49ers went over their 2018 autopsy, one conclusion was that some players (Richburg? Matt Breida?) played despite injuries and had trouble performing at full throttle because of them. The approach this year is one of caution: Make sure the player is over the injury before sending him back onto the field. Which is another reason why Week 1 might be overly optimistic for many of the players listed above.
Yea, Bosa has a month to recover from that injury that usually takes 4-6 weeks to recover from for even elite athletes. That doesn't mean the team will rush him back, because to them it's more important to have him available weeks 5-17 than just week 1.
Dude this is your problem though, you have no idea exactly what his injury is...I've already given you examples of players with a "high ankle sprain" diagnosis, who have played in a month (Garrett), Lane Jonhson misses zero weeks, Jamaal Charles missed one, OBJ missed like 3 1/2 weeks from what I remember etc...
A high ankle sprain isn't the same across the board for you to just assume it's 4-6+ weeks in recovery. In most cases with a full blown high ankle sprain you're are in a boot for 2+ weeks (according to my PT wife).
