For the players on this list who suffered lower body injuries, there's a chasm between when they're expected back versus when they'll return to their pre-injury performance.
Man, thats an "A list" of who's who...
A grim reminder that NFL is a league of attrition.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs
"Injury": Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs
Timeline: Pushing hard for Week 1
FIFY 😉
Some of these um...'timelines' ....are hilarious.
I’ve heard Mahomes a couple times on Sirius NFL radio, I think he’s got a chance.

I'll be curious how Daniel Jones fares. We just watched two older gentlemen struggle through am Achilles. Will the younger body heal markedly faster or is he going to hobbling around out there

I'd call Rashee Rice closer to infuriating. Not because of the injury, but because he violated his probation and served a month in jail, and the NFL took one look at his helmet and said, "you're good".
Micah Parsons... woah. First I originally heard October from most medias well as Pack fans. Then Parsons said 2nd half of the season. Now it's "targeting postseason?" If that happens I don't think the Pack makes the postseason.
