It's all been released already. Do the math. Recovery time for that surgery is 4 to 6 months. He had the surgery in late May.
If he takes 4 months then we are looking at late September, but that's an absolute best case scenario and doesn't give him time to get into football shape at all. That's just recovery time. So realistically we are looking at Oct before he'll be ready to start. If the team feels he can do this they won't PuP him. This is your "as early as", but that's only if all goes perfectly and he's quickly ready to play. Since when has that happened?, I ask.
If he takes the full 6 months then we are looking at late November to be through recovery. Even if he takes the 5 months to recover you are looking at the later part of Oct and we'll be heading into week 6 or 7 by that time. That's why I give it a 60% chance he's PuP'ed. He'll have the full 6 months to get through the recovery and get into football shape and he can practice for a couple of weeks before the team has to add him to the 53 man roster.
Why Eifert waited till late May to have the surgery I don't know, but he did. It all comes down to how well his recovery is going.
