I think that's a stretch. Zeitler was refusing to play for anyone at league minimum and allegedly in shape. I'd guess Tomlinson and Zeitler are playing next week at the latest.

Right, but being “in shape” and having run with the pads on while taking hits are two different things. It’s one of the reasons they have a couple weeks training camp before the preseason games start. 
 

Zeitler in particular at 36 they’re going to make sure he’s ready to go before starting him and have him pull a hamstring or groin and miss 8 weeks.

Jayden Reed out for the year.  Have to wonder if this will turn out to be a career-ending injury.

Good thing they gave him that contract extension. He’s got a $2M roster bonus due in 2027, and will have missed 25 out of the last 34 games with injuries. Probably gets released after the year.

Too bad, he probably has some ability but using him as a ball carrier on jet sweeps, screens, and all the underneath routes has dealt more punishment than his body can seem to handle. 

But at least we’ll get more Bo Melton on offense.

Zeitler has been incredibly durable during his career. But yeah 36 is 36.
