he played for an NFL team going into the playoffs in Miami on Aug. 31 that he would be playing on the first offensive series with a soft cast? He will have 8 wks. to recover and prepare...and a part of me would not be at all surprised to see him in for the first snap.
But is a somewhat limited CJ a better option than any other full strength lineman? I sure don't know. He will have to use that arm for leverage and depend upon it to be near 100% strength. Time will give us a definitive answer as no one has that now. Just kicking the can and wishing for now.
