Question about Juice. Is he coming back at all? By my count it has been 6 weeks. I don't expect him for Jax State or Vandy. By the UK game that will be 8 weeks. He should be healthy by then and we Need him. I don't think the season is over and we can win these last 4 but we need some healthy players back. Juice should be one of them. What have you heard on Juice?

I can hardly see the point in trying to break him in this late in the season. He can't possibly be game-ready after so much time off. Might as well just admit at this point that his season was a wash.

As talented as he is, I'd take him over some of the inexperienced freshman not named Harbor. I'm not calling the season. This is a all hands on deck. Get healthy and finish out 4-0. It is possible.

Agree...if he's 75% good, put him out there.

Depends on the nature of injury. It would be foolish to play him at less than 100% of there was a chance of re-injury, that would impact next season.
Guys come back too soon all the time and end up missing more time than if they had just fully healed in the first place.

You would think after 8 weeks post surgery he would be healed. I don't think he is coming back. He would be basing his future on a talented but unproven freshman QB next year. I think he will base his future on impressing the combine with his talent and go into the draft and take his chances. If he is healthy doing well in the last two games would help him as well...

If I were an NFL scout I would want to see him in action to prove he’s healthy enough to create space and take some punishment.

Is it asking too much for Juice and Rattler to come back?
'Fraid so. If Rattler comes back to play behind this line, he needs a psych eval! 😄 It would be insane for him risk that, and for what? I appreciate him coming here, buying in, coming back this year, and being such a strong leader for our team. He deserves his shot in the league next year, and I hope he balls.
