Pick 19 of the 2019 NFL Draft: Jeffery Simmons, DT, Miss St.

"far far ahead of the average person in his recovery"



declines to say they wont just leave him on the 53 man roster. if he isn't on the active roster he will go to the PUP/NFI list

PUP/NFI list rules: "A player who finishes the preseason still on the PUP list can then be placed on the regular-season PUP list. Such players must sit out the first six weeks of the regular season. At that point, teams have a five-week window in which to allow the player to begin practicing; from the day the player begins practicing, teams have an additional 21-day window in which to decide whether to activate the player to the 53-man roster. If either of those deadlines pass, the player must remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season.[1]"

 

Good news, so lomng as he's not rushed in. 6 months in though, good signs.

 

Sounds like things are progressing better than expected so far. Just don’t want to rush him back too soon only to have major setback later.

 

anything lately on how his rehab is going?

I remember them saying in July/early Aug his process is going much quicker in a good way than Vrabel or the staff expected

 

actually, he happened to be spoiled this year..... for our need, the BPA just so happened to be available at 19
