Pick #35 Nick Chubb

[OconRecon]

from the tweet:

Couple thoughts:

1. Nick Chubb is 7 months 13 days out from his ACL surgery. He has ~2 months to keep training before Wk1.

2. This is great progress, working single leg stability and dynamic control (explosive, deceleration/stability, lateral mvmt). If an athlete regains dynamic stability and change of direction control in accel/decel, production seems to follow. Brain knowing “where limb is” in space is key for sport activity return.

3. IF he did actually have an ACL *repair* and not reconstruction, his timeline bumps up by months (think Zach Ertz repair vs recon Dec->Aug return). This would shift likelihood of playing from November up to September.

So yes, there’s actually a decent chance he is active Week 1, which would allow him to return closer to full form in football activities mid-season (versus a mid-season return that would lead to return to form closer to December).

Kevin Stefanski did recently hint that Chubb was making very good progress..

Only Chubb can make liking Batman that cool

He won't be ready for week one.

 

[OconRecon]

There’s a contract thing whereby it behooves him to play week 1.

 

[jaydog]

Yeah but that's this FO doing right by the guy who wants to be here and "just want(s) to win". As it should be too.

I'm still going with November and if he starts playing in October that is phenomenal.

 

[Kegeratorz]

As long as he doesn’t rush it! They’ll need him in February!

 

[hammertime]

Can anyone verify if this is true?

 

[OconRecon]

Well, if it isn’t, ESPN and the league official accounts got got.

And what in the actual fuck.

Someone on Twitter said “Nick Chubb is one of one”. Ain’t that the truth.

I can't understand how such a exercise like that is good for. weight unstable to the left & right. 2 reps... whatever

Social media!

My God man!!!
I hate to say it but slow down.

I’m down for whatever indicators there are that show Chubb is being true to himself and returning to his old form.
Squats have always been part of being Nick Chubb.
I’ll say this, the dedication to physical therapy to be able to do this 8 months later is astonishing.

 

[jaydog]

That is next level speedy recovery for sure. I mean he was limping earlier this year.

[madmadworld]

Didn't know where to post this. pretty remarkable.

Sam Docherty veteran to face Lions just 183 days after rupturing his ACL earlier this year.

 

[OconRecon]

Say we come out of the first 4 games at 3-1, or even the first 5 games at 4-1. You wonder if that'll impact when Chubb returns.

Recalling the first 5 games are Dallas, Jacksonville, Giants, Raiders, Redskins

 

[Kegeratorz]

I’d say he’s back when ready, regardless of their record.
