Remember there is being in shape, and being in football shape. Considering he hasn't played any form of football since last season, time is indeed a factor. I would like to get the Pro Bowl LB back also, but Bengals will have 4 games over with. At some point in the season, if he isn't back, you have to consider it too late to get him caught up and in football shape. I don't know it that is after 8 games, or what, but I'm sure there is a date that if he isn't back by then, he is put on the list where he can't play in 2015. Lifting weights and such is not the same as putting on the pads and hitting and getting hit and getting into top football shape. If we get him back, fine....if we don't, Bengals go on without him. 3-0 so far without him.
