IDC what Reid says. He was pretty confident about Houston too, and it took him more than half a season to return. Remember that?

Are you talking about Reid's decision to keep playing Houston the rest of 2015 and into the playoffs when he first sustained the injury? The decision to have surgery didn't occur until a couple months into the 2016 offseason, and at that point, there wasn't a single person (including Reid) who was saying, "Recovery from this surgery is a breeze. Houston won't miss any time at all!"
And if it's the 2015 thing you're talking about, I'd say these are pretty different situations. Houston's was an error by team doctors who said he didn't need surgery; Ragland's is simply something that occasionally happens to guys with ligament damage. It's pretty common for guys who have undergone ligament damage to have swelling from flights.

Is there a 100% chance this Ragland thing won't be a big deal? No, of course not. But given the guy started 10 games last year after enduring the tear the year before, and given he flew MANY times during the course of that season and still did well, would you really say we're being "haunted" by this injury?
Let's see where he's at in Preseason Week 3. If he's being held out of that game, THEN we have a problem.
