Yeah, if it were up to me I'd be in no rush to bring him back. Guys who miss chunks of the season rarely come back as effective as they were. I know there are exceptions but it's hard to ramp up to speed in the second half, period, forget about doing it while you're still nursing an injury. If the diagnosis is 4-6 weeks, I'd give him 8-10, especially this early in the year and with a contending team that can hold their own in the meantime. That way at least the physical healing will be complete by the time he comes back, and he'll just have to work up his cardio (which is enough of an undertaking).

I understand that's not a popular opinion, but I guess I'm more worried about January and February than I am the middle of November.
