I just meant long shot in being able to make the Redskin active squad and being a contributing player in 2008-2009 season.
I think the FO will end up putting him on injured reserve and let him rehab his knee all the way before letting him in a regular season game and re-injuring himself. The Vikings brought him back too soon that is why he injured himself.
Regarding the knee, I realize the advancements in knee repair has come a long way, but he has played very little in two years. We can not expect him to rehab his knee and be the same level of player he was coming out of Wisconsin. He has missed a lot playing time and experience. Plus the knee never comes back to what it was before a re-constructive surgery, much less two.
I hope this guys becomes the next great DE.
