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?

With the way injuries have gone for this team, I'm just not doing it.
Dee Ford had a knee injury that kept him out of the combine and stuff. He ended up barely playing in his rookie season, despite being available for every game.
