“He is doing ok. Working hard to get back. Who knows when that will be. Could be Saturday, could be next month, could be next year, I don't know at this point.”
Beamer’s less-than-positive message about Juice
- Thread starter 18IsTheMan

This is the first Beamer has even hinted he may not be back this year. Up until this statement, he’s made it sound like he’s getting close to being back.
I never thought he would be back. Time was going to be the healer here.
He could come back anywhere between this Saturday and next year? I'd rather him just say "I'm not sayin'."
It's definitely odd messaging to have him as only doubtful for this weekend but then to also say he may not be back until next yer.
Foot injuries can linger for years, even with surgery to repair. I've known quite a few people who had broken bones in their feet that had issues for many years after the injury had "healed". I would think it would be even tougher for an athlete to get back to 100% after a foot injury.
Beamer has said privately that he's not sure what Juice will do. He may tell Shane he's shutting it down and getting healthy for the combine, he's coming back next week or he's coming back next month. Beamer said if he doesn't play the rest of the season he is more likely to come back next year.
