As to delaying the Surgery: Do folks remember when Chad did this and folks were pissed? Sometimes these guys do all they can to avoid surgery (see Carson elbow).
I was thinking about this when I typed out that list of TE injuries. We may disagree on Gresh's talent, but I definitely agree that he was very durable for a TE and battled through some injuries.
Chad delaying his surgery also came to mind, but that was also the year Chad asked to be traded, so everything Chad did was twisted into him somehow being selfish. Just like how any nick or ding for Eifert is going to be twisted into him being made of glass. It's tough to ditch the narratives once they start.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
