A grade 2 obviously would be somewhere in between.

I am personally thinking we'll miss Taylor for about the first four weeks of the regular season. That looked like a pretty bad one.

Your timetable is within reason.

However, I hope your way off with JT's recovery time, I hope the sprain is mild and he's a speed lightning recovery guy.

Even though the injury did look really bad and it could easily take him that long to get on the field, we will know more tomorrow.
