We've seen training camp for players who miss the spring due to injury not be enough to get them up to speed to start the season. This really isn't much different.
It was always far fetched to expect him to come in and be a 8 sack player as a rookie given his college production.
We have to remember even Murphy came in more acclaimed and "pro ready"....
I do realize with Murphy and it would help getting reps against other players, but are can be doing all the other workouts on his own and might even be working with other players or at least doing end drills and working on his moves and overall game.
