No need to doom and gloom, think positive thoughts.
I kinda hope we just plug that LG spot in the 2nd.

You're misunderstanding.
The issue isn't whether he is healthy or will get healthy. All indications are he's doing well in recovery and on track to be available/cleared for football activity for the upcoming season.
The issue is whether his "healthy" now is different than his "healthy" before. Is his knee/leg the same? Is it less than? If it's less than, how much less than? Is he at risk of doing what Jack Conklin apparently did, overcompensating with his good leg/knee, and blowing that joint the **** out (Conklin tore EVERYTHING - ACL, MCL, PCL - if I remember correctly)? Is his noted upper-body strength enough to compensate for the leg/knee, if they are less than they were before, which would indicate that maybe he's never quite as good as he could have been but still is effective?
I'm hoping it all works out. But there are significant reasons for concern, and I'm not the sort to just ignore those. I can set them aside and hope, but they don't just go away.
