Tearing an ACL is often a long road back. That road began for Eddie Vanderdoes just after the season finale last year. He tore his ACL against the Chargers on December 31 and started the new year headed for knee surgery.
Suffering the injury that late immediately endangered his 2018 season. Even with the long offseason, he has yet to take the field.
He spent the entirety of camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Throughout those three weeks, he worked on the side with trainers, and from the looks of it, even as the end of camp approached, he still was not able to fully push off of the surgically repaired knee.
