Blitz training report saying 12 weeks with a knee

Tim Watson just said 8 weeks on Ch7.

Injury report has him out for 3-4 months while not even mentioning him in the body of the report. WTF.

There's no comment about him in the injury update, but they're saying 7 weeks on the graphic.



That would give him a round 13 return date, right before the bye.

The original 12-16 week recovery time frame would've taken him to somewhere between Rounds 15-18.

Now five weeks away

Top five pick Elijah Tsatas is continuing a steady rehab trajectory as he overcomes a knee injury.

GM of Performance Daniel McPherson says after conservative recovery periods, Tsatas is reaching the pointy end of his rehab program.

“It’s pleasing to have Elijah continue his steady recovery from long-term injury,” McPherson said.

“He’ll continue to gradually build on his fitness and barring any unexpected hiccups, will be looking to integrate into our main training group over the coming weeks.”

Fox reporting that he broke a finger in warmups. Explains the time on ground being so low, and also makes the clearance numbers in that time even more impressive.

Tsatas has a long way to go with kicking efficiency and physicality, but I can't question his toughness.
