If he comes back it'll take the sting out of losing Booker.

Likley due back after the bye. Will be a must start come playoff time if you don't have him now scoop him up.

I don't know.

-White is giving them everything they need
-With Lewis' history of injury, they are going to take it VERY slow
-I think him being gone has resulted in some myth about Lewis, he isn't much better than White, small sample size anyway.

Maybe they line him up at WR?

Lewis is clearly better if you watched both players last season when Lewis was healthy White was on the bench.

ok how do we know they aren't already taking it VERY slow? Maybe he didn't have to go on IR in the first place and could've been back sooner but they played it safe by doing that.

doubtful, he is too short.

Because he's less than a year from an ACL tear and had follow-up surgery in late August.

That's a short timeline.

The recovery period for the cleanup surgery is 4 to 6 weeks. He's been on IR for how long? Sounds like they have played it safe already by putting him on IR and now not getting him out onto the practice field til today. He's 2+ months out from surgery.

He might be ready, but look at Jamal Charles.

Tore his ACL earlier than Lewis, did not need follow-up surgery, and is being eased in very slowly.

Charles is much older. Also his second ACL surgery.

Lewis actually needed an additional surgery because of his huge quad muscles

Boom has no clue what has talking about and has been lost for weeks.

I agree Lewis won't be ready until after the Bye week even then if White continues what has doing he'll play a factor on the field. What White showed me in the AFC championship game vs the Broncos was enough to tell me Brady likes him

And what I saw last year was enough to show me that Lewis beat out white and Brady likes him more

Yeah a completely healthy Lewis not coming back midseason from injury. Jesus y'all expect 150 & 2 TDs from guys coming back from major injuries is absurd

The surgery before the season was minor by all accounts.
