[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1038230, member: 18006"] It's a hamstring (which You probably already knew, but just in case), and the official word is that he is expected to be ready to rock n roll in Rio. But you know how that goes. When it comes to injuries, the "official word" and the truth are often very loosely related to each other. First of all, you never know with hamstrings, and second, even if he is fully recovered, 3 weeks from now he'll have missed a hell of a lot of pre-season snaps. He should have been piling up reps this month, getting his timing down, getting into a sunchronized rhythm with Love... learning how to read his blockers and anticipate how plays develop, and for that matter perfect his own blocking responsibilities on passing downs (because we need Love to still be upright and alive at the end of every weekend.) Third, if you look closely at the injury updates, it appears that they initially either underdiagnosed the severity of the injury, or underreported it. It was initially reported as a Grade I in early August (exact date unspecified, but at least several days before the 10th), which would have meant a likely return to full status by this time. Now they're saying they expect him to be up to speed in 2-3 weeks, which suggests that it either was greater than Grade I to begin with, or has worsened or been delayed. Which either way would mean there's no reiable way to guess where he's at it in his recovery. Remember Christian Watson a year ago, who went through a very similar situation and missed most of the season all told. This double-whammy injury business (hip injury, then hamstring) has held him back, any way you look at it, and LaFleur is now letting it be known he's fustrated and disappointed - that at this stage of the preseason, he had really hoped Lloyd would be further along and the team was hoping they'd have had a better idea of where the guy they were counting on as their running back of the future actually stands. It's definitely becoming an issue, but hopefully doesn't turn into the same sort of scenario we saw with Watson a year ago. [/QUOTE]
