Reports is he is out 2-5 weeks (maybe more)
The short side is 2 weeks. How can you drop him if theres a chance he could come back after 2 weeks?? Anyone remember Edge in 2004? He suffered a slight hamstring tear in week 2 against Tennessee, and played in week 3 against the Packers and went 21 for 62 and a TD and didnt miss a game the rest of the year. Finished with 1500+yds and 9tds.
Not saying Fitz has the exact same injury, but James has dealt with the same type of thing and came back fine quickly. Maybe he can give Fitz some pointers on stretches, therapy, etc to get him back quicker.
Just a thought to keep in mind.
I think that was the exception more than the norm. My gut is hes out until at least week 10, possibly longer, with the chance he isn't the same all year. I need the room. 4 fixed WR's, with byes, I can't waste the space. (Wayne, Edwards, Evans, and dropped him for Bryant Johnson)
