Originally posted by SanDiego49er:However, Thomas is now set to have surgery this week on his broken hand. So, he will not be available for the season finale versus the Rams. The good news is that Thomas is not expected to miss anything than that game.
He would be something like 7 weeks out from the Super Bowl. If you count the dead last week, bye weeks (multiple - #1 seed & Super Bowl bye week). Plus all the playoff games. Which would be fully healed from a broken bone and cast off. Usually 6 weeks. Not exactly full strength. Because you lose a little strength with a cast on for weeks. But maybe he can quickly rehab as best he can for 1 week. Making him full go and healthy for the Super Bowl. Potentially so anyway.
1) Game 16 or about surgery quickly after that
2) Game 17
3) Bye # 1 seed
4) Divisional round
5) NFC Championship Game
6) Bye - Pro Bowl
7) Super Bowl
Numbers are weeks.
"It would only be this week, said Shanahan. "I think they even told me before the Washington game that he would get surgery this Tuesday and there could still be an outside chance to play this Sunday. So, I doubt that we would risk that now in this situation that we're in, but that makes me feel pretty confident for our next game he will be available."
