Week 6, huh - I thought it was later. He should hopefully be ready by the opener, then.

I have no issue with the signing, obviously we all knew the situation, I just hope he fully recovers and it doesn't turn into a Malcom Smith type situation.

I agree. While I'd rather the 49ers *not* get ACL players, they are gambling that thier doctors are better than anyone else's doctors. Also Sherman worked out last year. And so far Jimmy and McKinnon haven't had any setbacks and Kentavius Street is progressing.
ACL injuries aren't so career ending anymore. It seems they revamped thier medical staff this year just overloaded that staff with injured players. Doesnt make sense to me.

what are we complaining about? dude tore his ACL like 6 months ago. You don't honestly expect him to be out there running in MAY OTAs? IF you got an extra 2 months before training camp, why not let him get that extra recovery time?

cash money came into it for sure...CJ got $43 million guaranteed and Kwon got $14.25. His style of play also matches up well with this scheme. It's May let the man heal up properly so it's not an issue come week 3 or so.

Kwon is young and has the potential to be a pro bowler again I would hope that they give him all the time he needs to be 100%. With his age and proven potential he can be a huge part of this team for the next 5-6 years which I believe is what the F O see's also.

All Kwon got guaranteed was $14.25M? He thought he got a lot more.

I wonder if we'll move Kwon to MIKE and Warner to WILL so Kwon doesn't have to move laterally as much and can play more downhill. He's also capable of wearing the headset too...although Warner seemed fine with this too and got better and could relay from the WILL too.

Nah I think Kwon will play Will but he might wear the dot actually.

The WILL just has far more space on that weak side. Plus moving players is kind of what we do. LOL. I would imagine your plan is optimal if health permitting. If not, maybe the go another route to get him on the field sooner.

Will Alexander be available at the start of training camp?
