to start the year, having missed all the practices and preseason games.
I'm guessing that there will be at least 3 or 4 other players who were also injured last year, who will also start on the PUP list. Those other injured players should be taken into account when we draft next month.
Yes. He is only 22. Very rare but does happen.
However, I think the injuries to Robinson and Shep is why the Giants have signed Crowder to act as a vet who knows the playbook and can play the slot for a few weeks and see how it goes. Maybe Jeff Smith falls in that category too. I think the Giants want camp bodies to keep the offense moving and have players ready for the start of the season, but if all goes to plan, a guy like Crowder is cut during the year and Robinson and/or Shep comes back full time after that.
Thinking everyone but wandale ready for start of the season
If they are on PUP, they may be stashing them a bit if we have some rookies and FA signings who look good in camp
Shep: Torn ACL
McKethan: Torn ACL
Collin Johnson: Torn Achilles
Aaron Robinson: Torn ACL & MCL
D J Davidson: Torn ACL
Elerson Smith: Torn Achilles
Darrian Beavers: Torn ACL
These guys are on the roster and depth chart as if they were healthy, but they're not. Maybe the NFL should schedule the Giants' next game at Lourdes.
