Onlookers had to know this was coming.

Green missed all of last year with the injury suffered on the first day of camp. He played in just nine games in 2018, though he put up a healthy 694 yards and six scores on a 15.1 average in the process.

Now Green returns presumably healthy and technically on a contract year again with the potential for improved quarterback play under center. Turning 32 in July, Green can still be the guy who put up 1,000-plus yards in every season he didn’t miss more than three games. He can potentially still be the guy who has posted double-digit touchdowns three times.

An innovative offense, elite quarterback prospect and strong cast of other weapons — all in a contract year — prime Green for a massive bounceback.
