The amount of general self-centeredness and complete and utter lack of empathy in this world is troubling. If you want the best JJ, you've got to let the man heal. It's not rocket science.
I'm a football "dad." I have a son that plays for an college FCS team as a defensive end. After his Jr High School year, to get recruited, it was important to go to college "prospect" camps where the players are tested in measureables like the 40 and 5-10-5 shuttle. About 3 weeks before the first "mega camp" with 50 college scouts in attendance, my son tore his hamstring. He did aggressive physical therapy and was able to compete, but not at 100 percent. He didn't fully recover for 8 weeks. The point is THE ONLY WAY to fully heal a hamstring is time and rest. JJ is doing the right thing by sitting out.
Being extra precautious is precisely the right play. It’s in line with the way this team operates now and will only score more points with JJ in regards to his future with the organization.
And if this injury has caused him to get off social media, well, he’s better off for that, too.
It seems the players generally are buying into the culture (and that includes but not limited to these practice/playing decisions on health concerns). Also, we really do have ridiculous WR/TE depth.

After the bye seems so logical. An extra week-plus to get him ready for the stretch run.
Just sucks they didn’t pull out the Denver game given how GB has found its footing.
Couldn't agree more. Shocking, I know! They should be fine against Chicago without him, but I suppose it depends on which version of Fields we get.
