Burrow tore both his ACL & MCL. Brutal

It sucks, but I think he recovers fine. I already own him in several leagues, but I'll be inquiring about acquiring him in my others.

Hardman's off, he just didn't do anything Sunday night bc he'd missed the last two weeks of practice.

Yeah I saw that lol thanks.

Nothing on Dillon? Is he ok?

Supposedly other structural damage as well. While he should recover, this injury could have more long term implications than originally thought

And it also comes with a 12 month recovery timetable - so he will be unlikely to be healthy for the start of the 2021 season.

I think ACLs have become a little shorter timelines to come back from. Seems to be a 9 month recovery time these days (depending on severity). I doubt he'll be 100% but he may be taking starter reps in the preseason.

Depends on the player, the extent of the injury and how the rehab goes, but timeframe is estimated at 9-12 months so it's not out of the question that he plays week 1.

It's not out of the question, and of course Burrow will push to play (because he is a nutbag on the competitive scale) - but the phrasing around this so far suggests this is more on the "bad scenario" side of things. It's the "suffered other structural issues in his knee as well" part of this that should be giving owners pause for him pushing for a Week 1 start.

Yeah, maybe he will recover faster than normal but I’ll be surprised if he’s ready for the beginning of next season, from everything that I’ve read. Like you said, he will push to play but I would think they would be extra careful with their franchise QB and and we are here at the end of November, I just can’t imagine he will be out there week 1.

Counterpoint: the Cincinatti Bengals.

This is my only fear - and I say this as a fan of Burrow with no fantasy shares and a disdain for the Bengals organisation in general... but I could sooooo see them rushing him back out there because he's literally the only compelling reason to watch a Bengals game in the 21st century.

"That's so Bengals." - us, probably

they did give him an offensive line worth this name... oh wait!

will he tell us that he's ok?

Jacobs' isn't looking to hot to start on Sunday. But this is coming from Gruden so he is likely squatting 600 lbs. for reps in the basement of a Las Vegas Casino as I type this.

DJ Moore is trending upwards but no further info on his COVID listing (whether it is close contact or that he has it himself)

Hopefully CEH and Swift can get healthy in time for the weekend.

My strongest season to date is falling apart at the finish line...

CMC unlikely to play vs Denver this weekend according to head coach.
