      about RJ Hubert. Anyone know whats going on with him? I know he’s out this year with another injury, but any updates? Is there any chance he returns and hasn’t lost his athleticism? He would be a nice addition to our secondary.

      Hubert has been hurt since the 2019 CCG, almost 2 years. It would be a good story if he was able to come back and play at a high level but I wouldn’t count on him until he proves it first.

      Experience-wise he will be way behind the guys that have been playing the last two seasons. And multiple leg injuries for a “speed” position will be a lot to overcome. At this point I’d say that a medical retirement is as likely as him becoming a starting safety for Utah.

        yeah, thats pretty much what I was thinking. I was just wondering if anyone had heard what his plans are, or if anyone has heard anything about his recovery. Whitt talked him up big time before he got hurt the first time. Man, that seems like such a long time ago.

      I have heard insiders say he has a shot at the NFL. I don’t know if he has had one or two injuries. He very well could be back next year and be the best safety but that comes from pre-injury review. I think that is his plan.

        Per the twittersphere, it was a 2nd lower leg injury in April of this year Bill Reilly

        I’m not sure if he aggravated the previous injury or suffered a new one but two injuries that cost multiple seasons is why I’m skeptically hopeful that he can return. He didn’t get a lot of time playing behind Blackmon in 2019 so I don’t think anyone really knows what he can do on the field anymore.
