Say what you will about Mellinger's ability, but it doesn't change the words out of Dorsey's mouth.
I came away from that article thinking either Dorsey is sandbagging or Houston's prognosis is grim. So my guess is either they are playing it safe and Houston returns early with little/no training camp. Or the 12 month initial time frame was accurate.

My best guess is that Dorsey is simply tempering expectations in an attempt to keep Houston from pushing himself too far.
If Houston can come back week 3 and be at 85%, or week 8 and be 100%, it needs to be week 8. They can't afford to dick this up when they already invested big $$$ in the guy. |

The last time I remember someone being this cagey about an injured player's return...

I want a reporter to ask, specifically, if this is a nerve issue or not.
The ligament was never torn, per the best sports surgeon in the world...just hyperextended. Then they replaced it a few months later. |

Doesn't matter. The recovery from surgery is gonna be the same.

I highly doubt it's a nerve issue. That's something you would almost certainly hear about by now.
Again, I think Dorsey and Co. are just looking to cover their tracks before they make any unnecessary promises. They have to do this thing carefully. |

Seems to be something, one way or the other.
All he had to say was "he's progressing normally" and leave it at that |

my take is this:
he didn't tear anything initially. so let's compare to say sam bradford. he tore ligaments, and was back in a year. so given houston acl wasn't working properly, id say 8 months would be a good guess. in reality. |

IMHO, our interior pass rush should do enough to hold the fort through whatever regular season time Houston misses. There's several guys who can push the pocket in a QB's face quickly, and if Hali is healthy week 1 along with Ford, that's still a damn good outside rush. Just not the top 2-3 tandem that Houston and Hali have been.
If and when we get all of that OLB group and the DL healthy and playing together, good effin' luck to whoever is the opposition. |
