For the people asking what's taking White so long...

Edit2: Actually fully relevant. He tore his acl in 2016 and has had chronic significant knee and lower leg injuries ever since. Looks like the first knee injury turned into a secondary knee issue, which turned into an Achilles, which turned into another acl, which turned into this most recent Achilles. 
 

Edit: this poor dude must have something going on with his mechanics (like RGIII or Zion Williamson in the nba). Not sure it's the best comp fully in retrospect because of it to White, but gotta be careful rushing people back if they are showing muscle imbalance or not adequate muscle endurance, which again I'm not sure is the case here. This guy tore the knee Sept last year too, so before White by over 2 months: 

 

"The Achilles tear is the latest in a long list of significant injuries Verrett has suffered since entering the league as a first-round pick of the Chargers in the 2014 NFL draft. Before Verrett tore his right ACL on Sept. 12, 2021, he also had played just six games in a four-season span (2016-18 with the Chargers and 2019 with the Niners) because of a torn left ACL in 2016, persistent knee issues in 2017 and a torn right Achilles in 2018 that lingered into 2019."

Again- who is saying that?

Plenty of people on this board. I think it's silly since he it was 11 months since he started practicing and he needs to first get back in football shape and then get into game ready shape

Right, so people need to stop saying he should have been back in eight months.

Should’ve? Are people saying he should’ve? He definitely could’ve. He’s not.

He definitely needed practice time. Practice time was definitely going to happen. 
 

The fear isn’t over the ACL now, it’s a hamstring or something similar because his body isn’t ready to go up against players in mid season form.

The coaches of had the opportunity to watch them in practice for a couple weeks now they will know when he’s ready
