[Rapoport] #Jets LT Duane Brown, who was activated off IR and will start today barring a setback in warmups, is playing despite a torn rotator cuff, source said. He opted for rehab rather than surgery with hopes his 2022 would continue. It will today.

Duane Brown with no limbs >>> Conor McDermott
This worries me, but I also wonder if our start to the season made him choose that. 2-2 feels very different to 0-4, and it’s great to see a player fight to start.
Warrior
Yeah my expectations are very low. I’d be surprised if he plays the full game from a snap count perspective.
With a rotator cuff are we talking pain threshold or function being the major driver of his availability? I can’t imagine the repeated impacts on a shoulder that occur at that position will translate to a normal/consistent season from Duane.
Hopefully this is a pain management issue (in season) and he has enough functionality of the shoulder to get some meaningful games in.
Pretty dope he really seems to want to play. A lot of folks thought it was a money grab and run
Load up the toradol
I was wrong about this man. I thought he pulled an Osemele. Wow
Do rotator cuffs heal themselves?
He ain’t pitching
