Those early camp reports with Tre working hard off to the side and the Jeremy Fowler report had me encouraged, but the opener is coming fast. They’ve demonstrated time and again they are fairly tight lipped on these things and won’t rush a guy back (so that and/or medical clearance is probably most of it), but it sure would be nice to know if we can expect any contribution from Tre early in the season. Tough slate of games to start.
I know every guy coming back from this sort of injury is different, but I see guys like Logan Thomas coming back today in only 8 months and it starts to stoke my anxiety (Thomas supposedly had a worse injury that occurred later in the season than Tre - ACL, MCL, and medial and lateral meniscus). Like somehow, God forbid, Tre had a setback or the injury was more serious than we know. That said, corner has to be one of the hardest positions to come back from an injury like this with all the suddenness required of the position. The optimist in me is still holding out hope Tre gets back on the practice field by next week and is ready to go Game 1.
