He had surgery a year ago. I'm not going to pretend I have even moderate medical training but he was supposed to be ready by training camp. Now it's mid October....
Is Byron Jones This Year's Will Fuller?

No unfortunately I have a feeling that will be Armstead.
TA has played in every game this year. We knew he gets injured. But when he's not he's one of the best in the league.

I have a feeling Armstead only starts a handful of games the rest of the season. Dude hasn't even participated in one practice and is already hurt. Yes we knew this but it still sucks.

and if Armstead was able to practice with the other guys on the O line, I would imagine the O line would be better.
Thought he had the surgery in January
Regardless, he was supposed to be ready by TC. We're going into week 6 of the season.
Then he had the calf atrophy which delayed his return.
Let's hope not. Let's see if and when he comes back and then how he performs.
Agree. Every year for the last 15 years we’ve heard about how it takes time for the old line to gel together. I guess there’s no gel needed this year with the elite left tackle.

He's gonna be so out of shape even when he does come back. Perfecting timing of the injury during a restructure. We could've been done with him after this year and instead we're stuck with him at least one more and most likely two.

And as for Fuller, he still hasn't reached the point where he's ready to tryout or sign with another team, so it seems like the injury was bothering him and causing issues and it wasn't just a case of him wanting to screw Miami or sit back and collect his check without doing anything. If that were the case, I'm sure once the money stopped coming in he would have sought to sign with a new team. The truth is most of us have or had no idea how the injury was effecting him or how serious it was. Sure Ronnie Lott had a injured finger severed so he could play, but that's likely not the smartest choice.
You could be sent to your room for this! And I think Jones had surgery in the spring
only kidding :-)
I know Tua gets injured too much but too bad the rest of the guys don't have the drive and the fortitude to return asap.
