Tre White knee injury UPDATE: Out for the Season Notification top of page 1

[Fred Slacks]

I wonder if we see more standard 4-3 this week because NE uses 21 personnel so much. I was against the idea of moving Taron outside but the more I think about it the more I like the idea. He’s an aggressive tackler which we need against a physical downhill NE offense. Put 3 LB’s out there this week vs NE. 
 

I do agree with a lot of people that we should have addressed corner back more aggressively. I’ve been worried about it every season. We’ve been way too lucky with Tre’s health. 
 

Can’t be elite at every position though I get it. Wishing Tre a speedy recovery!  Go Bills!

I too would focus on stopping New England's run game first. Go 4-3 with Klein in there. Go Nickel on passing downs. Jones isn't chucking it deep anyway. If he does that means our pass rush failed.

From the article:

 

"The Recovery

Tre’Davious White will need supreme conditioning of his thighs. Adrian Peterson famously came back in eight months to play after his ACL surgery. However, the average time it takes to return to play in the NFL is 10.8 months (4). With an estimated surgical date of December 16th, White should be back in October or November 2022. Barring an expedited recovery, White is a strong candidate to start next season on the PUP list."

Not scientific, but I feel like Tre is going to be one of the guys who surprises everyone w/ a shorter recovery & that he's back by September.

I fully expect he will be back by opening day.   He's driven.

The problem with him coming back too fast is that it increases the chances that he'll suffer another injury. I think he's too good a player to allow him to take that chance. Besides, I'd rather have him for the second half of the season than the first half.

I hope they don't let him run live for at least 10-11 months. Protecting him from himself is going to be difficult and frustrating for everyone involved but in the long run it may very well be worth it. Regardless of when he comes back, he's not likely to be the same guy until 2023, if ever. If sitting him an extra half year can in any way contribute to him being healthy and close to full strength for the remainder of his career, it's worth it.

Has anyone heard if White's ACL injury is s partial tear or a complete tear?  I can not find that detail anywhere.

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter

 

they will have to graft another one and remove the damaged ligament either way

Don't have to wait that long? You think Belicheat won't seize the moment.

You are most likely right, but this is a strange year and there is no dominant team.  My delusional hope is that they eek into the playoffs and get hot at the right time in in January and February.    

I like your optimism. At least you recognize "delusional hope." So many on here are unable to be honest or open minded.

I have lived with a partial tear for a long time.  Believe me, it matters.

It doesn’t if he’s going to have it repaired which is almost guaranteed 

[ShakAttack]

For what it’s worth…

 

Olaijah Griffin is essentially the top rated CB on the “Practice Squad Power Rankings” as an honorable mention along with one other CB.

shrug… I think he’s worth a shot though. We have a good, CB friendly system where other DBs have over-achieved IMO..

The risk of re-injuring the knee is greater with a full tear.  The knee is also more stable with a partial tear. 

 

I was just curious.

Disagree with the your comments about Tre. He is elite and a lock down corner. His injury will clearly weaken the Bills defense significantly. The whole field is open for opposing QBs. Couple that with an inefficienct or consistent pass  rush and run stop.  It's no a recipe to make a deep playoff run or a super bowl appearance. We better hope Allen and the offense turn it on. Go Bills

Bills will have a mini bye (much needed after the early bye week) to regroup the secondary and scheme in response to the loss of Tre white. It’s a tremendous loss in a number  of ways but interested to see how they respond scheme-wise and personnel wise. They are still elite at safety and play a corner-friendly D … the keys will be adding pressure from the DL and adding points from the offense. The chiefs don’t have an all pro corner either. The pats cB1 was undrafted.  I think we will see Dane Jackson step up. Bills will probably sign Dunbar for vet depth. No one can replace Tre but I’m not giving up on the season. 

Agree never give up. I suspect the Bills will fight and be resilient. Just feels like they come up a little short due to talent not effort.

This is nonsense. Unless you mean opening day 2 season from now?

I highly doubt Tre White will take 8 games off just so that he can get 12 months post surgery instead of 10.

Nonsense?   26 years ago All Pro CB Rod Woodson tore his ACL on Sept 3.......had reconstructive surgery.......returned to the field in the Super Bowl in January 4 1/2 months later.

More than a generation of advancement later and you are absolutely certain that Tre White can't return to the field in twice that amount of time?   GTFOH sandbagger

Honestly my biggest concern now is Levi Wallace’s durability.  He gets banged up a lot and now he’s going to have a bigger plate.
