ADVICE

Draft Cautiously Move Greene Downboards

  • Move Greene down draft boards and treat him cautiously until MRI results arrive.
  • Chris lowered Greene to about SP45 (~150 overall) because outcomes range from minimal time missed to season-ending issues after surgery.
INSIGHT

Bone Spurs Can Mean Long Recovery Timelines
