I think we all saw this coming.

I hope no one was naive enough to think that a guy that just started jogging this week was going to be ready to play full contact football just 2 weeks later...

Yet people were actually saying this could/would happen.  At this point, none of us have any idea when he will be back.  It would not surprise me if he misses at least half the season.  A setback and he could miss the entire year.

Here is the question.  Let's say he misses half the season, or even the entire thing.  Do they pick up his fifth year option?  He has missed time every year of his career.  Even if he only missed four games this year, he will have missed significant time multiple years.  He is very talented, especially in the red zone, but can't stay healthy.  Not sure what I would do...
