It’s a question mark according to which doctor? He played major college football on it 3 months ago.WHen did Grimes suffer this devastating and career ending knee injury? Before or after he played major college football in September of 2017?
3 catches off 4 targets for 20 yards in 2 games is not exactly setting the world on fire. I have no idea what his knee looks like, how well he has recovered, or whether there will be lingering effects throughout his career. Maybe he's got a knee that heals like Adrian Peterson's, or maybe he's got a knee that heal's like Yatil Green's. At this point, who knows? But it's certainly still a question mark.
Slam his 3 catches in two games all you want, but we’ve had and have great prospects who didn’t do any better in their first two games as college players.
There is a difference between being healthy enough to play and fully recovering from an injury. Darrion Owens played major college football on his knee most of last season and this season, too. But unfortunately the fact that the doctors cleared him and he was healthy enough to play does not mean he's the same player he was prior to his knee. Sometimes you just do not come back the same. I think it's fair to say there are still some questions about that with Grimes.
