Burrow and Chase at Lakers/Suns game today

[guyofthetiger]

Got a glimpse of Burrow and Chase at an NBA game today. Apparently, they are in Phoenix. Nice to keep track of them in the off season.

DJ Reader and Sam Hubbard were there as well.  Burrow was wearing a soft wrap around his wrist, for those wondering.

I was wondering if he was careful dapping folks up and shaking hands. People can get a little rough in that initial hand connect.

Any word on how Reader is getting along?

I jumped on Twitter real quick and D.J. was wearing jeans with no visible brace or sleeve underneath. No videos of him walking or anything and no mention of his rehab anywhere else that I could find. I went to his Twitter and much to my surprise, he is very active. He responds and has conversations with fans quite often. On January 28th, someone asked him about his leg and he responded...

Yess my leg starting to be able to move a lil bit more.

It’s decent starting to be able to bend my leg. Appreciate you asking.

So, it sounds like he was just beginning to be able to bend his leg at the end of January, or five weeks after his tear. Recovery of a quad tear is 4-6 months and he is a little over two months in now. He has likely ditched protective equipment and started rehab at this point, so he has some mobility but is still working on getting ROM and strength back. Most sources I can find say that complete recovery takes one year to get back to "normal", which would be mid-December.

Thanks KillerGoose. I would still bring back DJ for a Playoff/SB run.

He was using his left hand from what I saw. Still had the soft brace on his right one. 

IDK how I feel about that. 3 months until OTAs and he can't shake hands yet? We need him to be able to throw a football 60 yards come September...

He shook Lebron’s hand with his right

Pretty sure JB asked LB if he could play TE

Front row? What if a player falls into them diving for a ball? We need a plexiglass divider put up! Protect them at all costs!!

I don't want him shaking anyone's hand with his throwing hand. We've all shaken hands with the gorilla grip guy who thinks he's impressing people by how hard he grips your hand. A firm handshake is one thing, but too many take it to a different level to try to prove something. All we need is that one guy to crush Joe's hand.

He said he was "doing fine" on a text, but my son hasnt had a detailed convo with him nor has he seen him yet.
