Hope he works through this too. I've given the guy some grief but definitely have respect for his game and hope he'll be a top WR3 this year.

I guess we have to wait for more info before jumping to conclusions and jumping off the cliff.

Yea not good. Hopefully this creates a bit more urgency to sign OBJ if Van is still having knee issues.
Why does it create an urgency to sign a guy who cant play for 2-3 months in the event that Jefferson might miss a couple weeks?

How is that helping the team from September to December?

OBJ is just talented depth and you can never have too much. It's not to have an extra body to play week 1, but 'unknown' knee issues might linger, and if we lose Van for the year lets say now our 3rd WR is a question mark and potentially a weakness. Signing OBJ should have been a focus with a 100% healthy Van, but now that Van is having issues with his knee I think we need to make sure to sign OBJ. We can't afford to head into the playoffs with Skow or Tutu getting full 3rd WR snaps. We have the cap space to sign Odell we need to do it IMO.

Can't be too bad, he was on the sideline running sprints and doing some kind of shuttle. I wondered why he wasn;t on the field so I guess this news explains why.
