If the knee swells at all you hold him out and give him 12 days off of it with rehab

And it will just add to the legacy when PMII throws for 350/4 in the home opener without 87

Good point.

The 'mini-bye' likely breaks all ties here. You get a loooooot of rest between now and week 2, provided you don't do anything to make it worse.

Probably smarter to sit him, as much as that would suck. I suspect we hear 'gametime decision' either way to make the Lions prepare for the possibility that he plays.

(By the way - THIS is the worry about Kelce as he ages. Not that he's suddenly bad when he's available, but that he won't be available as often)
