This is interesting. Do they risk a game without Eifert where he might have been ready? Will they keep him on 53 just in case he can go by week 4? Week 5?
I just want him back 100%, nothing less. We need him healthy down the stretch and I think we can manage without him with a bunch of 3 WR sets. Ironically, it seems that we go downfield MORE with our TE packages, and run shorter routes with the 3 WR sets. I always remember Dan Ross going 7 yards, turning around to find the ball on his belly, and he would catch it, move the chains, or even score. It was borderline indefensible... Eifert is such a key element to the Red Zone, however, that his return for a playoff run is critical.
