That sucks, but he should come back fully recovered from all his other injuries, at least 🤷. Anyone have any idea how long he could be out? Half the season?

I've read that he could potentially be ready for week one but that seems optimistic.

Damn that sucks, but usually a bone break isnt likely to re-injure no?

No, when a broken bone heals there is a callus formed making it more reinforced than it was previously. Its not impossible to re-break but it takes 110% effort.

Trust me, I'm a doctor.

That's horrible.  I will be almost twenty months since he last played more than a full game of football.  Hope he comes back soon.

I have a large feeling he could have came back last year but was too concerned with repulling his hammy to jeopardize his draft stock or lowering it if he didn't play well because of it. I also bet he saw Drake London get taken as WR1 the year before after not playing an entire season and hung it up.

Hamstrings take 4-6 weeks to heal. He didnt come back for 10 weeks of the regular season or the playoff game against Georgia which was 14 weeks post-injury. Something last year smelled fishy with that injury
