guess we have to take this as a slight win. Get back better Banks.

Glass half full I certainly thought the worst when they bring out the cart because since when is that ever a good thing.

But the good news is he will be back this season.

Could have been a lot worse

They will have to bring someone in for depth.

Best news possible. We have some winnable home games coming up where we can survive without him.

Yep 5 home games, 1 road game, and neutral site game. Good chance to get rolling and get Banks and Tyson back for the stretch run

There were concerns it was season ending so this sucks but it was probably best case scenario.

So we get him back for the Browns game at the latest. I’ll take that. Really need to take advantage and get these wins against Raiders and Falcons before the next tough stretch against Vikes/Giants

Wonder if Fuaga moves backs over to LT or not.

Best news possible. Give him the tightrope surgery and he will be back in a few weeks. Richards played well when he was out there.

Didn't he injure his ankle in the last game of last season as well? I wonder if it was the same one and they went surgery route this time to ensure the ligaments are in place and strong

It seems our injury timelines have been ahead of schedule. Hoping that is a worst case scenario and he has a chance to return closer to week 6-8.

10 week timeline puts him on pace to return for the last six games, coming back for the Packers game.

Since it’s not season ending (most likely) idk if they sign anyone as anything other than a backup to Richards.
