One thing about rehabbing an injury like this is the fact that most of the time the player is really grinding and working hard to get back. If a guy has his head down and is working his ass off it usually produces good things. 

I read an article yesterday that suggested that he thinks he can be ready for week 1. I'm sort of doubting that timeline. I think he will get PUP-ed, which isn't a bad idea imo. We may need a proven functional RT come mid-season. We tend to sustain a lot of injuries on the O-line during the course of a season. I want them to have as many 'glass eaters" as possible during this JB-Chase-Higgy window. We may actually win a damn SB before we kill over. 

Typically, I would agree with you on that statement.  However, when you look at the situation through the same lens as Leonard Leap in post #17, you realize that the Bengals "Tackle garage" is full of cars, but most of them are junkers that are completely upside down when it comes to their trade in value compared to what is still owed on them.

If La'el Collins was a car, he'd be on a buy here-pay here lot with a salvage title..
