All-ACL team: NFL's rehab warriors

[KB_fan]

Great thread, thanks!

Please forgive what may be a stupid question.  But is there a stipulation that players on the IR stick around Charlotte and continue to be involved with the team (film, etc.) in whatever way possible?  

(I know it was a totally a different situation, but when Hardy was on the exempt list last year I thought there was some talk that he would practice with the team, but it was optional and he just disappeared?  Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.)

Just wanting reassurance that KB will be staying in Charlotte with our guys and not trying to rehab on his own back in FL.  I've never paid all that much attention to who was on the IR... it was always "outta sight (not playing) / outta mind."  This year I care a lot about what happens with KB and his rehab and he won't be "outta mind."

As you can see here, It is very possible if not probable that Kelvin Benjamin will be back next year and in full force as hungry as ever.

 I don't know. I thought that was the problem?

[The Huddler]

Great thread.  Hes got an entire year. I bet hes as mad and as hungry as ever.

KB may never make it back, it's just something we need to be prepared for.

When he's put in IR I do believe that he has to conduct Physical Therapy or at a team approved offsite location. With the money and high hopes invested, I'm sure that they'll make him stay.

I can't really even imagine him wanting to leave. He had TD and Stephen Hill to lean in to get through this with.

 

in the end, time will tell

ACL is so fuging common these days.

A great receiver I always think of that tore his ACL and came back strong is Demaryius Thomas.

not sure why you think of him, cause he's never torn his ACL. Achilles yes, ACL no.

Correction noted kind sir.

Why we aren't cyborgs yet is beyond me, we have the technology yet we let "morals" get in the way when talking about becoming robotic death machines.
