LF played at 235 last year. Your statement that 240 isnt a good sign is an assumption.

It's an opinion.

* 240 isn't his optimal weight, IMO
* This was an important day for him
* That he showed up at 240 anyway shows that:
o ...the ankle may be a bigger issue than we think. Remember some were talking surgery
o...the ankle is fine, but it required a ton of rest and that has kept him from working out
o...he's being a tad bit lazy between the end of his LSU career and his NFL career
o ...he's in great shape and the extra weight is just muscle. He's exactly the weight he wants to be.

#1 is the worst case scenario. #2 is the most likely...followed by #3. Neither are major concerns. #4 is highly unlikely, IMO.
