If the issue was purely one of pain, Ryan would be playing. He’s proven he’s a tough SOB that can play through an injury. And he talks about that. It’s that he’s lost zip on the ball and can’t make the throws (either because of the pain or structurally - it doesn’t really matter).
The more glaring part of that interview to me is that they gave it 10 days rest hoping that it would heal, but had no improvement. Now they’re giving him longer rest hoping for a different result - and as much as I would love to have him back by the Indy game, I really wouldn’t be surprised if he’s out longer, maybe even for the season.
Regardless I’d be willing to bet he’s on the team next year, with the goal of drafting a QB in 2020.
