Ceiling if he even plays: 3-35 1 TD

Floor: 0-0-0 and you punch yourself in the face

They haven't really said.  If he plays, maybe just in the red zone or some run blocking plays.  He'll be on a pitch-count if he does play.  Just my guess.

Honest question because I have no idea.

Cant he just be told what route to run in the huddle?

That was my initial thoughts as well. The route tree is the route tree in the NFL for the most part with different terminology. However, there are significant timing issues and nuances that need to be learned about every offense. Blocking schemes are a big deal. There's a point where his presence on the field can be more a hindrance than a help so soon after a trade. My thinking is that his snaps will be limited to few red zone looks if that.

There are a lot of post snap options involved in a lot of routes...

If you get man coverage, run this route. If it's zone, break off the route and settle in... If the safeties go to cover-2... If safeties roll coverage, or play a deep 1...

Will not play, according to NFLN.

Well, that settles that

Here's to hoping my opponent does not see this until the game starts.
