I'd rather have him at 75% compared to how Von has been playing. I don't know if AJ will end up back on the field against the Pats or not, but I can see them possibly waiting til the Fins game to activate him.

He holds his cards close Fuller quote (hopefully this embeds right): My interpretation: Last time he talked to the medical staff about Milano, they said he’s done for the year. He hasn’t asked again and they haven’t brought it up. If (big if) something was to change, the medical staff would probably bring it up unprompted.

The odd thing about Milano's injury is we really never got the full injury, did we? All I remember or can find was that he had fractured his leg and "feared to have season ending knee injury". Did we ever hear anything official regarding his knee injury and if it required surgery? I feel like that is something that would have come up or been asked within the week of the injury but don't recall ever hearing anything about it. All I could find was he will have leg surgery and be out indefinitely. No specifics to the surgery he had.

Logic Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Regarding Milano... One can't help but wonder if a player who relies on his speed and who plays at a position that relies on lateral movement, having hurried back from injury and playing on a freshly healed leg and after a 14 week layoff, would really be more effective than Tyrel Dodson at this point anyway.

This. People are happy that DaQuan Jones is back. I'm happy that DaQuan Jones is back. But we have to understand that DaQuan playing with a surgically repaired pec, 12 weeks post-injury is unlikely to be the same fire-breathing monster he was into Week 5. He may be better than Poona Ford or Tim Settle, but temper expectations. And 12 weeks post-injury is actually not an outlier time for RTP from a pec tear these days. In 2019, JJ Watt came back in 9 weeks, but playing on the edge he's not necessarily in direct contact with another 300+ lb behemoth on every snap. Ditto TJ Watt in 8 weeks. In 2020, Jon Feliciano came back 13 weeks from pec surgery and played effectively at C and G when he did. He talked later about how limited he was in strength training at that point, but he managed. For Milano, though, if it's true he suffered a tibeal plateau fracture injury 1) it's a challenging injury to return to form from. Needs the right surgery and the right rehab 2) it doesn't just involve healing a broken bone then rehabbing, it involves very limited weight bearing for a prolonged time, because any sideways force on the tibial plateau could impair proper healing. And then, bones heal in 8-10 weeks typically, but the repair process to allow full strength takes much longer. If we want the best chance to get Milano back at something resembling his all-pro form, give him all the time that he needs to heal and to rehab. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a very high chance for some cold precipitation, light rain or light snow. The key, however, is that the winds are predicted to be light. Only 5-10 mph from the Southwest. To have those type of winds in late December off Lake Erie is a blessing for Allen and the passing game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just asking for trouble. If anything, I think DaQuan will have some extra juice in those legs from all of the rest he has gotten. I like the idea of letting him shake off some rust this week and then getting after Tua and Mostert next week. 4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering his age and contract, I would be loath to rush him back and further aggravate the injury. I would much rather see him heal fully and see what we can do about maybe running a Bernard-Milano-Dodson combo with a likely exit of Hyde and possible loss of Rapp. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiktok Boy is actually down on the list for receiving yards. Rookie Demario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, and Devante Parker all healthy AFAIK. 55 minutes ago, The Wiz said: AJE probably going to take the extra time to get ready for next week. JMO. It's a little strange that Jones has a designation of "questionable" when McDermott already said they expect him to play? I expect Hamlin to be inactive with a "questionable" designation and Hyde apparently good to go.
