I would say they need him the first two weeks (Baltimore & Cincy) because of Hollywood Brown’s injury. That’s 2 of the more difficult & important games of the regular season right out of the gate.

This move gives me a lot more peace of mind week to week knowing we could lose Rice and probably not skip much of a beat TBH. Not because Rice isn't far better - but JuJu can at least fill the role at an acceptable level that won't leave the offense stuck in the mud when they need that tough chain mover on 3rd/4th & 5 or less.

If they're all healthy, it's MVP #3 this year.

I've always believed it was a meniscus injury.

At a point, you just can't rebuild that. So either you leave it in there and it often gets inflamed and creates fluid on the knee that has to be drained. Or you take it out, it creates bone on bone contact which....creates fluid on the knee that has to be drained.

I don't think there's ever been a sort of public diagnosis but his knee sure acts like a guy who has a compromised or non-existent meniscus in there.

And that's degenerative. It ain't gonna get better for him.

Yeah Juju's knee has reportedly been a ticking time bomb. At this point it's likely pretty bad, and Juju's best days are definitely past him. But that doesn't mean he can't be productive with us as a WR5 that fills in here and there, or gets shelved for the playoffs.
