Caleb Banks Tracking After Left Foot Surgery; "Questionable" Tag Raises Questions

Caleb Banks is tracking through recovery from left foot surgery, with the team currently listing him as Questionable. A "Questionable" designation post-surgery is atypical — standard surgical foot procedures (e.g., Jones fracture fixation, Lisfranc repair, turf toe plantar plate repair) carry biological floors of 6–16 weeks minimum, making a near-term game-day decision genuinely uncertain without further clarity on the procedure type.

CLASSIFICATION: BON or LIG/CAR / Grade 3 (surgical) / LE — Left foot surgery, procedure unspecified CONFIDENCE: INFERRED — Tissue type and specific structure unknown; "surgery" confirms Grade 3 severity threshold but procedure type drives the applicable RTP range materially. Grade is CONFIRMED as surgical (Grade 3) by team disclosure; specific anatomy INFERRED. EVIDENCE TIER: T2–T3 depending on procedure — insufficient procedural detail to anchor to a single published RTP range. FLAG: SURGICAL — MD review queue triggered. Timeline anchors to surgery date, not injury date.
