Looking forward to 2025: injuries

[jb2288]

Who we watching here? 
 

Derrick Brown tore his meniscus game 1. 6-9 months he should be good to go 

Shaq TBD if he will be on the team next year but torn Achilles. 9-12 months and at his age I’ll assume a full year. Prob don’t see him until October if he’s back

XL wrist surgery. 10-12 weeks. Should be good for TC but sucks he will miss time he needs to be on the jugs on his own. 

Tevin Wallace shoulder surgery but I don’t know what for. It doesn’t seem serious so I’ll go 8-12 weeks. Back for TC 

Corbett TBD if he comes back but torn bicep is a long one. Going to say 10 months. Might be ready for pre season but I doubt it. 

Brooks is what it is. May not see him until 2026  

 

Corbett and Shaq might not be back. everyone else outside of Brooks looks okay for start of the year. Who else we missing? 

[Basbear]

You got it covered. 

I feel Morgan will offer Shaq a cheap deal.

Corbett I feel will be playing elsewhere. 

Eddy is playing with a hurt knee, but he's a FA.

I'm counting on having Brown, XL, and Wallace being ready to go.

Everyone else are likely either gone or should have the expectation of having a reliable fallback option in place. Neither of our current centers are starter-worthy and I can't trust Corbett at this point, so I'm inclined to say that's the priority. 

[kungfoodude]

I would assume Shaq and Corbett are likely gone.

Brooks we may never appreciably see again.

Brown, Wallace and XL should be healthy 

[ProcessBlue2]

I thought this was going to be centered around firing the S&C coach that has been around since Rhule brought him here. 

Or the worthless training staff we have.

[OneBadCat]

I think they give Shaq another shot. We’re going to be desperate for help there.

If Shaq wants to.come back and be reasonable with his contract, hard to be upset over that. His leadership is missed.

Of course I am not an insider or expert, but he small for an ILB--I think his body is going to continue getting injured because he is worn out--even a team-friendly deal would not be worth the risk, imo.  I met his after otas (he was late--Washington was on quarter system) and he looked like a strong safety--I am guessing 5'11" and 220 then.  I think he is under 230 now.  I am not sure his body is not already telling him to retire....Just my guess--I see your point.

I'm not moving on from him. 

Just saying a team friendly deal is fine. 

I'm not going to begin to guess his weight. He has beenna good linebacker for us, an even better leader. 

If the coach wants him back, I'm all for it. 

Will be interest8ng what happens after the season ends as far is coaching is concerned.  Will provide a better picture come free agency.

I remember watching him commit live at the army all American game back in the day to Washington. He was a safety then 

[PappyMay]

I'd love for Shaq to come back on a team friendly deal. I also think at this point Jewell may be better than a twice injured Shaq and Trevin needs to be the starter of the future. Would he be willing to be depth? Just be a good role model in the locker room and play when needed?

Can Morgan trade Brooks to Dallas for a 4th round pick?

We got a 4th for Mingo, they might give us a second back
