He's going to be injured until the fall and probably won't be in game shape until midway through the season.

The tweet cited didn't say he would be injured until fall, it said he would not participate in spring ball. Being injured until fall would certainly include not participating in spring ball but the inverse isn't necessarily true.

If he is healthy enough to do summer drills, he would likely be in good enough physical shape to play by the start of the season. Whether he would enough to play the position properly is another matter. I would have said whether he had learned enough to beat out Costello would still be at issue, but Mr. TITTLE raises the specter of there being nothing to beat out.
