Word is Darby and Sidney Jones are both expected to come back week 7
Sidney Jones can start practicing after Week 6 only.
Brehs, I thought about it, Sidney Jones had a torn Achilles, best case scenario and unlikely, he will be back by week 10 or 11. If he is not on the roster by that point he has to be put on the IR under NFL rules,
I am assuming that will be the case since he missed OTAs, and the preseason.
Think about it, most athletes don't come back from that injury 100 percent until 10-12 months, he tore that shyt in March or April, he is out of shape most likely which is understandable, and he is a rookie who hasn't really put any professional playbook, let alone eagles defensive playbook into action. He would be of no use to us at that point and plus you gonna risk him retearing that achilles or injuring something else if he is not 100 percent.
Too many things against him playing this season. I am all in favor of shutting him down after week 10 or 11.
They are gonna see what he got in limited practice and then likely shut him down to reserve a roster spot for another player
Be ready for next year with healthy Darby, Jones, Mills, and Douglas quartet .
Darby is a serious possibility for Week 7 tho
