I think he is psyching himself out. He needs to get into a game to get the feel of it again or the longer he stays out the worse the problem will get.

I think at this point things aren't going according to plan and it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't come back this year. If he was needed back sure but right now he is a luxury - and that's why the coaching staff isn't pushing it.
