he will play this year so its not the end of the world

 

With no camp and no pre season, Smith will be extremely far behind the curve. 

 

It is unrealistic to expect anything from him this year.  Maybe a flash or two in Nov/Dec.   

 

We have zero luck.  And this is a significant set back for the offense.

sucks but this won't be the last one, these injuries happen every day from here on…it is what it is.

 

 

Unfortunately, this is true with every team. Injuries happen, but I also agree that this is a big step back for smith. WRs take a longer time to develop than other positions, especially when you come from a system like OSU where Smith wasn't asked to do too much (only caught 2 balls a game).. It took Martavius Byrant (a guy that had only 3 catches a game in his senior year) 6 games before he was allowed onto the field last year.

Odell Beckham Jr could tell you a little about not having a preseason.

 

Seemed to work out just fine for him.

OBJ also ALREADY had a throwing rapport with his QB Eli since he was 14. Smith will definitely be adversely affected in terms of pro development & route tree reps retarding his acclimation to the pro game and lessening his on-field contributions.

Is Stephen Hill a FA?

We can pluck him of the Carolina Practice Squad

there are 44 days until the regular season opener, that's more than 6 weeks.  i'd rather this injury than most any lower body one, or even a concussion.  he'll probably be able to run routes in a few weeks w/o contact, but at least he'll be in shape.  it will be interesting to see if any of idzik's guys can claim a roster spot while devin is out.

not only did he miss camp, he missed all of preseason and 4 games of the reg season too. people are acting as if the kid just lost half the season. will he be a little behind? maybe. the sky is not falling
