And where the hell is a real update on C Harris..............it must be much worse than originally anticipated
The downside of being on IR is the injury gets lost in the eligibility to return info. He'll need his own Spring Training when he's finally able to return physically. Autry is the same after sitting 6 weeks and no practice or meetings.
This was Oct 8th... “I am still waiting on [if] Christian [Harris] is improving," Ryans said. "He is doing well, we actually had Christian down on the sideline yesterday which was encouraging to see him down there, see his support, his energy that he brings to our team. We are pulling for him to get back at the right time.” Must have been some calf injury to keep him out over two months already. I too am worried when he will actually be back in top shape. He and Autry both might take time to adjust when they do get put into their starting roles. I don't know who they replace.
Harris is still on IR. The 4 weeks is a minimum, not a maximum. There is a fuzzy point at which players begin working their way back into practice before either coming off IR or go back either on the same list or are placed on a different list. This has more to do with activation limits. I think this fuzzy time is limited to 3 weeks.
They are not alone. Both Leagues prefer not to disclose injuries more than required for competitive reasons. The guys wanting details the most are GAMBLERS.
