Things still aren’t going too well for the New York Jets amongst other issues there’s still the injury of their star wide receiver Santonio Holmes. He told reporters that there’s still no set timetable for his return following surgery to repair a severe Lisfranc fracture in his foot. Read more after the jump.
“I don’t have a target date,” Holmes said at a flag football tournament in New York, according to the New York Daily News. “I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize myself being ready for the season.”
Holmes has been running on a non-weight-bearing treadmill at least three times per week, but he has done very few football-related activities.
“It’s just getting back into the swing of walking and running without any pains from having scar tissue build up around the injury,” said Holmes, who is an obvious candidate to begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list. “It’s really difficult to learn how to walk again. To do so much balance work, you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone. To lose a ligament and have separation in your joints, have screws placed in.”
If Holmes opens the season on the PUP list, he will have to sit out six games which would be a devastating start for the Jets.
