I'll be glad to have Thornhill back. Much better situated to bracket Chase if both Thornhill and Reid are full go. I don't want to watch Bryan Cook trying to do that at this point. He's not ready. [Reply]
Ja’Marr Chase jumps in early on a question asking if he will still have same explosiveness upon returning Sunday: “Hell yeah, man. I’m not even gonna let you finish that.”
I'm not sure how you can be the same with a torn hip labrum that isn't fixed.
Unless if the labrum is still nearly 100% intact and perhaps there's just a tiny little tear I don't see how either. When I tore my labrum it would bind and get caught between the socket and the ball of my hip and grind and pop. Simply walking in a straight line without crutches was dam near impossible. [Reply]

Yeah I almost expect them to keep listing him as questionable, but he never sees the field. Sorta like Berry. I'm telling you guys...I gotta see it to believe! [Reply]

The description of the injury was probably exaggerated from the beginning. [Reply]

Maybe to justify the length of time he's been out? On the flip side, if they didn't exaggerate the injury, there's no way Chase makes it through one game. [Reply]

I just think if they were honest about the injury, he would have been out as long as needed. There doesn't seem to be any upside to exaggerating it. There seems to be a lot more reasons to undersell it than oversell it. At least from a football strategery standpoint. [Reply]
