He suffered a Hip injury in training camp followed by a hamstring injury in preseason followed by an ankle injury against Indianapolis. I think just the overlap of minor injuries made us go conservative with him as we likely don’t NEED him early season. Like you said when you have depth stepping up and meeting expectations (similar to Malik at QB) why rush him back? I’d slow roll him a couple more weeks and put these minor injuries back in his past.IF he’s healed up my plan would be to ease him into the lineup before our Week 10 Bye. Then have him fully ready to go Weeks 11-18. Not that I want it, but a RB can go down quickly and I prefer he’s not “learning on the job” if you will. Even if he’s getting just 5-7 touches per game after the Bye etc.  Teams can never have enough depth going into the Winter months.</blockquote>
