Morris Claiborne Needs Wrist Surgery

Hmm, how much time do you guys think that Claiborne will need to be 100 and do we pick if he falls to use now?

6 to 8 weeks before he would be game ready with a T-shot? Fug if I know but its not going to take long. 100%, who the fug knows, every body composition and healing is different and we know NOTHING about the injury or the x-rays. It is literally impossible to predict without that info.

Suffice to say that any joint issue SUCKS to heal from and there are many more unknowns than bone breaks since there is more going on at the point of damage. However, world class athletes tend to heal very quickly from things like this.

I think it will be considered near insignificant by those that make the call.

Sooo, would you draft him now in the 9th or would the injury make you pass...

Claiborne could have a broken foot and we would still take him at #9

I would still take him. It's only March, and even if he couldn't do rookie camp and OTA's, he'll still more than likely be good to go by Training Camp in August. I'm also of the mindset that we are still at least one more year away from being a yearly playoff team, so I don't really care if the injury hindered him for much of this season anyway.

Apparently he suffered this injury in the 1st game against Bama and played through the injury afterwards. The surgery is suppose to be minor and he is expected to be fully recovered by mid-April. This shouldn't hurt his stock at all.

That injury is not nearly significant enough to impact his trade position.

An achilles heel injury or a knee would be more what youre looking for as an out.
