Deuce Lutui failed his Bengals’ physical on a Friday and passed his Cardinals’ physical two days later. Because their is no uniform standard in the NFL. There are at least 32 different standards that change all the time. That’s why Farve both failed and passed his physical with the same team for the same medical condition. That’s why you can’t claim Green can’t pass a physical. Especially with all we don’t know about this injury. If he is healthy enough to run cones there is probably at least one team who would say, “Screw it, he’s healthy enough to take a chance.”
What’s different?
Because how you evaluate a shoulder or a knee or an ankle are pretty much the same.
If AJ was unwilling to step on a field, he was failing a physical 100%. At the trade deadline he had just done a workout and then got shut down again for swelling and not feeling right. Once we get past the narrative that it was all a show here and accept he was really hurt the first thing the medical personnel will do is ask him questions, and now it is clear he wasn't making it up his own answers would have red flagged it.
Remember, in season you get one shot at this because essentially by the time the medical is ran the deadline is past. I just don't think teams with limited time to evaluate medicals are going to agree especially knowing the compensation would have most likely been made with the assumption he could play. That said I think a team would be more likely to pass him with more time during a FA pre signing physical where they have more time and can structure compensation to take potential injury into account.
