re: Anybody else get the feeling that it’s going to be an “out of left field” type of deal?

Given everything that happened during the playoffs with injuries, you can be sure they will be taking all precautions with regards to bringing guys back slowly and then ramping up their minutes over several games.

Because if they have another player come back from injury only to tear a quad / Achilles / ACL / whatever immediately, they will be in a world of shite.
