Spend the money on moving services. It’s great to be frugal but need to be careful.

If you have ever had and incision, or been stabbed like I have, in the thigh its not a quick recovery depending on how deep it goes. If you manage to cut that muscle it will take some time before being back to normal. The swelling is an entirely different issue, again depending on how deep it goes.
If he NEEDS to be on crutches, this is no little thing.
Thanks for the added info, Philip. Let’s see how this plays out. If Ruggs III can’t participate in the upcoming mini camp, assuming that takes place in mid- to late-June, then what you described likely is the case. A rather inauspicious start to his Raiders career, one way or the other.
My mind goes back to the laceration that Clive Walford suffered a few years back, which derailed his career. Hope we are nowhere near that!
Going to be controversial here and may upset some folks but I must say I have never been more proud to be a member of Raider Nation than in the last few days following Mark Davis’ statement on the terrible events in the US starting in Minneapolis last week.
Mr Davis continues the proud legacy of his great father in looking beyond race, gender or anything else to see the person in front of you and treat them with the respect they deserve.
Thank you Mark Davis, the Raiders are winning where it counts.
We can be proud of our Raiders. They have always led the way – Derek Carr, one of the very first players to say we need to find a way to see and treat other alike. Mark Davis, the first owner urging we find solutions, and turning his words into action. This is where it counts.
