MONDAY INJURY ROUNDS: PROJECTING A.J. GREEN'S RETURN
A closer look at A.J. Green, Andrew Luck, and Antonio Brown's injury status and Week 1 expectations
by Jene Bramel, August 5
MAKING SENSE OF [A.J. GREEN](=)'S RECOVERY TIMELINE
Even though we're likely to see high-quality video of an injury and quickly see national beat writer reports detailing severity and return to play timetables, there are always instances when follow-up reports do not match initial expectations.
That happened with Green last week. In these situations, I like to establish a timeline and see if the reports tell a sensible story.
Here's the Green timeline:
July 27: Green suffers a left ankle injury in practice. [Video is limited but suspicious for a high ankle sprain](=).
July 27: Post-practice press conferences feature hopeful and reassuring comments from Zac Taylor and Green's teammates.
July 28: Adam Schefter reports [Green's MRI showed torn ankle ligaments and suggested a 6-8 week return to play expectation]().
July 28: Tom Pelissero reports [Green will have a second opinion and implies surgery is under consideration]().
July 30: Ian Rapoport reports [Green had a minor ankle "clean out" procedure but timeline is unchanged](=).
July 30: Rapoport updates initial report, tweeting more was found than expected, [Green now expected to miss a few games](=).
I had multiple questions during this first 72 hour period.
Why would Green have a clean-out procedure -- presumably to remove cartilage or bone fragments from his ankle joint -- so soon after the injury without having possible ligament stability addressed? Why would Rapoport seemingly tweet confidently after Green's surgery about an unchanged timeline only to update with a less reassuring report shortly afterward? Is a 6-8 week timetable a reasonable expectation after arthroscopic ankle surgery to address cartilage injuries?
I reached out to friends and sports medicine experts, Dr. David Chao and Dr. Jeff Budoff, who reassured me that a clean-out procedure to remove cartilage fragments or bone particles wasn't unusual. Rehab protocols for arthroscopic surgeries that do not involve repair or reconstruction or microfracture can be accomplished in 6-8 weeks if things progress smoothly.
Also, it remains notable that no national or local beat writer other than Rapoport has addressed Green's status since Schefter and Pelissero discussed the MRI result and planned specialist visit. When Green has been injured in the past, the most accurate reports have come from ESPN's Bob Holtzman, NFLN's Pelissero. While Schefter has generally been quiet on Green injuries, he's also accurate. My sense here is that the most accurate reporters have not weighed in because there's still some uncertainty.
Thankfully, the Bengals' radio team includes Dave Lapham. He's been connected to the team as a player or radio color commentator for many years and is well respected in the locker room. It can be difficult to catch Lapham's radio interviews, but he was featured on a podcast last week and discussed Green. Specifically, Lapham reported there was ["no way" Green would be ready for the opener and strongly suggested the team -- sensibly -- might target the Week 4 Monday night game in Pittsburgh]() as a reasonable goal.
Week 4 would be 8-9 weeks after the surgical procedure and likely allow Green 7-10 days to recondition in practice if his early rehab goes smoothly.
I still think there's more detail to be reported here but I like setting Week 3 as the over-under for Green's return to practice, with Week 4 as a hopeful return date.
---------------------------------------------------------------
INJURY ROUNDS
[ANDREW LUCK](=) | CALF STRAIN | OFFSEASON | WEEK-TO-WEEK | PROBABLE WEEK 1
There were reports of calf soreness throughout the offseason with Luck, who did not practice much this offseason and took only a few 7-on-7 reps through the first days of training camp. Luck rarely addresses his own injury status and insists the team remains quiet, too. However, Luck did tell reporters last week that he believed his injury to be a relatively minor strain. Tom Pelissero reported there [are no specialist visits scheduled, no additional plans scheduled, and no discussion of surgical procedures]().
It's reasonable to be concerned about this injury. It's lingered long enough -- or been aggravated -- to be considered a higher grade calf strain and although Luck was adamant scans showed no inflammation around his Achilles tendon, he did [admit to feeling pain in his ankle]( at times. Ultimately, Luck and the team continue to say the injury would not hold him out of a regular-season game. And Luck wants to avoid any further aggravation or potential alterations in his throwing motion that might stress his surgically-repaired shoulder.
For now, the Colts and Luck plan to rest until his calf has fully healed. He's [reportedly improving over the past seven days](). Whether Luck plans to return after another week of missed practice or further into the preseason remains to be seen. The length of Luck's absence isn't a huge red flag right now. Instead, you should be more concerned about Luck's status after he returns to practice. If he returns then shuts down again, our level of concern should escalate quickly.
[ANTONIO BROWN](=) | FOOT CONDITION | OFFSEASON | DAY-TO-DAY | PROBABLE WEEK 1
Brown managed just one practice in pads last week and was reportedly dealing with a foot injury. Brown posted pictures of his feet on his Instagram page over the weekend, which showed a separation of the top layer of skin on the bottom of his foot and raised suspicion for possible infection. After seeing a foot specialist to remove the layer of dead skin and treat any residual issues, it's believed Brown will recover quickly and return to practice soon. Expect the team medical staff to remain cautious with Brown and try to limit any recurrences of this skin condition. Barring complications, Brown will be ready for Week 1.
[DAMIEN WILLIAMS](=) | HAMSTRING STRAIN | EARLY PRESEASON | WEEK-TO-WEEK | PROBABLE WEEK 1
It's not uncommon for teams to remain cautious with players who are expected to see heavy regular season usage. It's uncommon for coaches to directly and negatively address the absence of a player expected to see heavy regular season usage. So, Andy Reid's comments on Williams last weekend, who has now missed a full week of early camp practices with a hamstring strain, may be notable. [Reid told reporters](=), "â[Williams has] missed quite a bit. Heâs missed a lot of plays. Itâs been great for these other guys. [[Carlos Hyde](=)] has done a nice job. Heâs got a lot of reps and heâs taking advantage of them.ââ The consensus local opinion is that the team would prefer Williams as their lead back, but Reid's comments may signify some frustration with Williams' recovery so far.
[DERRICK HENRY](=) | LEFT CALF STRAIN | EARLY PRESEASON | WEEK-TO-WEEK | PROBABLE WEEK 1
Henry left practice last week and was later seen with his left leg immobilized in a walking boot. Though the boot usually suggests a foot or ankle injury, Adam Schefter reported Henry's injury as a strained calf with a two-week return timetable. There may be nothing of concern here and the Titans do not appear worried about Henry's status. But immobilizing the ankle joint for a low-grade calf strain raises some suspicion for a different or more severe injury to around the foot and ankle. If Henry's absence lingers past two weeks, it'll have my interest even further piqued.
***Zack Martin had an MRI for recurrent back pain last week. It showed "disc irritation." The Cowboys have suggested he'll rehab for a week and be reassessed. However, irritation could mean herniation of disc tissue and degenerative changes. If so, Martin may have symptoms requiring further treatment and rehab throughout the season. Dallas has dealt with similar issues with key linemen -- Tyron Smith has battled disc problems for years -- and will surely have a rehab plan to manage Martin's symptoms.
***[Aaron Jones](=) has missed multiple days of practice with hamstring tightness. His absence was termed precautionary by Matt LaFleur. [Jamaal Williams](=) has also now missed over a week of practice with a hamstring strain. For now, the Packers are telling reporters both should be back to practice soon.
FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENTS
***[Todd Gurley](=) (knee) remains on an every-other-day practice schedule. He told reporters his knee was responding as expected last week. He's firmly in the "no news is good news" category as we traverse through the preseason.
***After a few early-week beat writer reports that [Sony Michel](=) (knee) was seeing very few practice reps, the end of the week reports notably praised Michel's first teamwork, fluid change of direction, and increased reps in passing situations. Like Gurley, the early preseason returns are positive for Michel.
***[Sterling Shepard](=) has already returned to team drills in a no-contact jersey. While he hasn't been fully cleared, the team's comfort with him running routes and catching passes strongly suggests he'll be ready for Week 1.

DECIPHERING THE ALPHABET SOUP OF INJURY LISTS
Players not ready for camp practices are placed on one of two lists â Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) or Non-Football Injury/Illness (NFI).
Physically Unable to Perform (PUP)
Active/PUP â Preseason only list. Once a player participates in any part of a scheduled training camp practice, they are ineligible for this list. Players can be activated from this list at any time. This list is commonly used for veterans still recovering from injury and those who fail conditioning tests before camp begins.
Reserve/PUP â Regular season only list. Players still on Active/PUP at the end of camp are eligible to move to Reserve/PUP. Players cannot practice with the team until after Week 6. Teams then have six weeks to evaluate the player before moving to the active roster or to season-ending injured reserve.
Non-Football Injury / Illness (NFI)
Active/NFI â Preseason only list. Once a player participates in any part of a scheduled training camp practice, they are ineligible for this list. Players can be activated from this list at any time. Only veterans with a non-football related injury or rookies injured before the NFL draft are eligible for this list.
Reserve/NFI â Regular season only list. Players converted from the Active/NFI list to the Reserve/NFI list are out for the entire season.
Injured Reserve â Return Designation
Each NFL team can return two players to the active roster from injured reserve. Teams are not forced to designate this player at the time of the move to injured reserve. Players designated to return can begin practicing six weeks after being placed on injured reserve and are eligible to return to the active roster eight weeks after being placed on injured reserve. This rule allows a team to continually evaluate the rehab and recovery of their injured players and provides roster flexibility should teams have multiple key injuries early in the season.
