Colvin is only how recent from reconstructive knee surgery?...

 

Its reasonable to question the thinking of going too hasty with the return here. Initially it was widely assumed he'd have to be on IR the entirety of 2014. 

 

I just think the bye week made more sense. Give him a few more weeks to take it slow and ease in to practice. 

 

Not exactly sure why we're flaming TMD for this. Jaguars fans should know especially after seeing guys like Manuwai and Kampman try to come back too soon that major knee surgery isn't something you can rush back from. Colvin's recovery has been pretty remarkable and almost seemingly too good to be true. I really, really hope that the team is using the utmost caution with Colvin. We'll see what happens.

 

Granted, the Manuwai and Kampman situations were obviously different, but still. ACLs aren't typically something that a guy just comes back from after 9 months and doesn't miss a beat. I've seen people on here expecting Colvin to come in and become a shut down corner, which simply isn't realistic to expect at all. There's no telling if he'll ever even be the same player he was at Oklahoma.
