So now we finally know what the injury actually was (if someone else knew this here at NET, I wasn't aware which is why I'm posting this).

If he ends up coming back, it may be a bit tough for him because he will be coming back more than likely in a playoff game rusty and everything.

We'll have to see how things shake out.

It was always listed as a shin injury ( and then combined with groin / knee issue at one point), but no exact details on nature. MM didn’t want to be specific on whether it’s a fracture instead just intimating that he can’t go full speed at the moment due to the issue.
Maybe at some point there will need to be a decision with only 2 IR postseason slots available; especially if they have Arroyo & one other available (Holani / Surratt)

Like was said above.. the Injury designation has literally always been "shin" 🤷

I'm not holding my breath that we see Tory this season.

I would be very pleased if we do but I'm prepared for the Hawks to head into the playoffs with JSN, Kupp, and Shaheed as the primary receiving core.

I doubt we will at all... honestly even if its not a fracture.. even a heavy bruise is a bitch everytime its hit on straight bone basically.... We get one IR designation returen during playoffs? Its either him or Arroyo.... Id love Horton.. but would also love Arroyo back.. he was starting to get into a TE groove... him and barner seem like a good combo for years to come

We get 2. Arroyo is likely the main preference and then Holani / Surratt seem good to go if Horton isn’t
