I'm hoping to use the bye week to unplug from football myself, and possibly use the time to talk to loved ones or read. (One or the other, not likely both.)
But before my cleanse, I thought it would be helpful to try and track when some of the guys will get back from injury. I've pulled together what I could find on expected returns, going with the most conservative estimate for each.
Benson – DET 12/9 (earliest he can come off IR, but foot should be ready)
Jennings – Chicago 12/16 (could be a week or two earlier)
Woodson – DET 12/9 (Rodgers is convinced he'll be back by NYG on 11/25 FWIW)
Shields – Week-to-week (think he'll be fine post bye)
Perry - Week-to-week (ditto)
Worthy – DET 11/18 (likely just missed AZ due to concussion protocol)
Nelson ? (hammy should be fine, we'll see on the ankle)
D.J. Williams ?
Kuhn ?
Bulaga ?
Clay ?
Please make any corrections you know of, or fill in any of the question marks as new info comes out, and I'll update the first post accordingly.
