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.

I agree on the 100% thing. That's why I think he's a prime candidate for the PuP list. He's not going to be game ready before week 6, I just don't see how. So why not open up the roster spot and let Eifert get fully ready?
