DJ still expects to be ready for camp

No he won't.

He probably wasn't a top 10 ILB last season. 90% of that means he's not a starting caliber player anymore.

DJ got a lot of latitude due to the goodwill he's built up in KC (deservedly so) but his play fell off markedly last season. He was simply not the athlete he used to be and I'd be shocked if he's ready to play by week 6 and even more surprised if he's all that effective when he does come back.

That achilles simply won't bounce back to its former elasticity. He's not going to have full range of motion in is feet/ankles and his explosion will be compromised. I don't have high hopes for our boy...
