I THINK that TGII is definitely has some sort of physical "issue"...loose body floating in knee/small Cartilage/tendinitis SOMETHING.

Now:

A - I think it's something they figured was relatively minor and he likely couldn't do any FURTHER damage playing on it in a limited role etc, and would steadily get BETTER not worse..

B - Realized it was worse than originally thought...but NOT Major but "A" was off, and thus didn't want to "show their hand"...NOT that it wasn't the worst kept secret in the league.

C - Once they "learned" A & B they had ALREADY "closed Pandora box" and committed themselves to the running narrative, and thus COULDN'T and CAN'T now come out and readily admit to this because Goodell/NFL hierarchy would fine/dock them draft picks etc. for NOT making this information public, like they have to other teams before.

Plus it's a condition he can play on when it's not too severe (the inflammation and pain)...BUT it can also flare up in the course of a game. So they can think he's okay during warm ups but it doesn't always last (though it sometimes does).

In my other post in this thread there's an article where they talk about it. The idea some people have that they HAVEN'T talked about it is wrong--they have. The idea that they might downplay it before games? Yeah that makes perfect sense in terms of competitive advantage.

They did the MRI so they know it's not structural damage requiring highly invasive surgery and a repair. But it could be something they can't figure out without a scope. A floating bit, tendinitis, etc.

Those things CAN be fixed so the idea that this is permanent isn't likely.
