And it's for that reason that I agree with James Rapien: being a soft-tissue injury, who's to say that he sits for 7 weeks, then comes back and doesn't re-aggravate it? It's an unknown and you would probably need to shut him down for multiple MONTHS for it to fully heal on its own, thus you can't project a timeline for it.

Too bad this couldn't be the year that Chris Henry Jr. is coming out (still 3-5 years away from that), otherwise if Joe DID get injured, we could get him as a draft pick.

Still, I would roll with Joe if he feels good and he responds well in practice and sit him if he is having a bad week in terms of pain: the rest/recovery time is just too great to sit him, as he could re-aggravate it walking down the stairs if it hasn't healed enough.
