Good news on Nick.

That's good news, but until he actually returns to practice without restriction, the talk is mostly meaningless. There is absolutely no benefit for us to tell Tampa Bay that he's out for the game until we have to. It's good news in the sense that it doesn't sound like he's had any setbacks, but I won't believe he's actually going to play until he's back at practice.
The fact that Lynch is so transparent about this s**t (look at Mckinnon) this is good new and meaningful. He could have said McKinnon is doing well just as easy and didn't. Same with Hurd
Not really. There's no point to him exaggerating or lying with the season a week away. If these dudes were "doing well" and didn't play week one that'd be a pretty bad look.
Why not sit Bosa till the bye week? They still have Dee Ford. Then unleash Bosa on the Browns.
Why sit a very good player if he's healthy enough to play? Sure you don't want a setback but if they think he's ready and he says he's ready(remember how Bosa's don't play unless they're 100% )
Guys can get injured any game. If he's good enough to play then let him play. No reason to wrap him in bubble wrap the rest of the season. If he gets hurt again then he gets hurt again.
And if he reinjures the same ankle against the Bucs? It's not about being healthy enough to play. It's about being patient enough to ensure that he is fully recovered from his sprain before sending him out there. We don't want another Breida situation like last year.
Like I said, if it happens then it happens.
My point is Bosa is a football player. IF he says he's good to go, our docs and coaches say he's good to go then he should be good to go.
I get what you're saying and we definitely need him to be 100% but how many NFL players play at 100%? The running theme with Bosa's as I mentioned is they don't play unless they're 100% anyways. So if he himself says he's good enough to play why would we give him some time off just in case?
Matt Breida as frustrating as it was with him played in 14 games and had pretty decent numbers. If we got the DE equivalent of that we're looking at 10+ sacks and some impact ones at that.
Breida also suffered the injury during the regular season IIRC and didn't have the luxury of healing with no regular season implications like Nick has had.
Plus I still think Kyle and Lynch over exaggerated the injury. We'll find out probably in a week or so. I hope he's out there because we need him. I don't take any team for granted especially one with a high powered offense on the road in their home opener. We need to start the season 2-0 because the back end of our schedule is a b***h.
