Do you know that, though?

6-7 months is probably the low side of the recovery on an ACL. Let's go 9 months on the high side. That makes him ready to play by November. And frankly, it makes him ready with some rust but also without some of the bangs/bumps that come with 8-10 weeks of NFL play. Even if you have some work-in time, you could realistically and easily have him ready to go at full tilt by December, no?

You don't even have to IR him to begin with; he'd be a PUP candidate for the first 6 weeks.

Yeah, this team is close. And because of that, you have to assume that we don't need an immediate boost to make the playoffs. What we need is a difference maker when we're in them.

Couldn't Simmons be that guy this year? If not, why not?
