INSIGHT

Achilles Tears Affect QB Mobility Long Term

Achilles tears often sideline quarterbacks for 6–10 months with reduced mobility and power next season.
Players typically regain most pre-injury ability around two years after injury, per Deepak Chona.

ADVICE

Follow Practice Reports For Devon H's Status

Monitor practice reports for Devon H's rib contusion; one full practice greatly increases odds he'll play.
If he logs practice, start him as usual given his role and upside, per Deepak Chona.

INSIGHT

Reinjured Joints Carry Higher Risk

Recently injured joints, like Jaden Daniels' elbow, carry higher re-dislocation risk after early return.
Teams often keep such players out when there's no competitive need, per Deepak Chona.
