Didn't he say he could've gone Week 1? Wish we had him for tomorrow.

 

McDermott just recently said that Tre White is finally coming back to form. That's nearly 2 years after his acl injury.

 

It's possible that Von is not back to his normal self until next season.

Yes, it is possible.  It seems that the reports about Tre were more about his mental part of the recovery.

Von seems pretty hyped to get back.

We will only know when he is playing in a game.

He’ll probably see his first action against the Giants so probably won’t see him in England. I would love to see him there as Trevor Lawrence looks like he’s regressing.

'Once before I die'.

Not sure if it's a Lombardi, or an estimate on a player's return.

(Or whether Elam will be active...)

man, I figured the Jags were gonna be sort of a powerhouse this season.  Still plenty of season left, though.

[machine gun kelly]

My guess is as much we want to see him next weekend, I’m guessing the Jags won’t be the game.

 

id bet is NYG, and on a pitch count.  He’ll get worked in more and more with each week.

 

Once we get through the Jags, we could see him sparingly for the next few games.  We need him full court press for the. Engels game.

 

After we hit the hard part of our schedule with the Bengals, Jets, Eagles, and Chiefs.  We also will definitely need him in Miami towards the end of the year.

Von is a different animal, Tre had to battle his own state of mind in getting ba k on the field, Von has been there and done that already and the mental aspect will not be an issue.

 

 That’s not to say he may not need some time physically.

I'm going to wait and see how they want to get him back to full time.  I would guess a DE has to get cut to make room for him.

Kingsley Jonathan seems likely to be the guy.  Not sure if he would clear waivers. 

Lawson could also be the guy, I guess.  

 

Guys get banged up all the time so maybe they'll just take it one week at a time before activating him.  They may need him to start with

a decent number of snaps if another guy is banged up.

 

I wonder in Kingsley gets "tweaked" somehow the game before Von is activated and he sits on IR for a few weeks.  Funnier things have happened.

It’s probably Shaq and agreed to your point.  He’ll most likely get placed on the PS.  He’s a nice depth piece meaning Shaq.  There is a use for him setting the edge.

Shaq would cost another $225k if cut but just looking at the Bills cap space on Spotrac Beane now has over $3M.

Apparently, Hines got his salary cut.  So now that money isn't tight anymore Shaq would seem to be the guy.

How has nobody said "So am I" yet? 👀

it will be at least 2 weeks, maybe 3 before he sees the field. there is no hurry when coming off an injury like that. 

I don't disagree, but you know von has been training as best he can to be ready to get on the field ASAP.

To add to the discussion, Von previously tore his ACL on December 22, 2013.

 

Ten months later in October 2014 he won AFC Defensive Player of the Month for getting 14 sacks in 4 games.

Two to three weeks is no time at all really. I do recall the videos but he was looking pretty Ginger at that time taking it kind of slow. He'll be ready when he's ready.
