Episode notes
Plan For Four Weeks After High-Ankle IR
- Expect a four-week IR stint for running backs with suspected high-ankle sprains and watch for reduced efficiency on return.
- Treat Amari Hampton's IR move as likely four weeks before re-evaluating his workload share.
ACL Returns Favor Volume Receivers
- Wide receivers returning from ACLs who were field-stretchers with low target shares often struggle more post-op.
- Hutchison's model flagged Christian Watson as a risky 2025 producer given role and recovery factors.
Watch Roles, Not Only Injury Tags
- Prioritize monitoring role changes after an injury rather than panicking over minor practice listings.
- Hutchison says Chris Godwin's current fibula/ankle activity is less concerning than Washington's breakout receiver threat.
