From the episode

It just has always seemed like our goal should be Thanksgiving, not before that... maybe it's closer to Halloween than it is Thanksgiving that he gets back. But even then, if that's his first week back, then they're probably going to ease him in.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Charbonnet likely won't be a full contributor until Thanksgiving.

The source suggests Charbonnet's recovery from a mid-February surgery makes a Week 1 return unrealistic. He will likely be eased in upon return, with a realistic expectation of being a full contributor by Thanksgiving or potentially Halloween if he progresses like Chris Bell's ACL recovery.
