I said there were only two reasons to be so quite about his progress or lack thereof that I could think of. I specifically said the trade value was not likely. Have any other reasons they would be so tight lipped about hi progress. He seems to be the one behind the couple reports/videos of him working out not the team and they were quickly removed and poo-pooed. Just strange, why its so top secret? I wasn't aware of videos of TB working out. Can you post them?

I wasn't aware of videos of TB working out. Can you post them? I can't. It was posted for a period of time here and/or the other board and before I could view it the Vine was taken down. There are plenty of reports about it and several posters were discussing it after seeing it prior to the removal. I've tried googling hoping to find it archived some where to no avail. Many articles discuss the video but it can no longer be viewed from any of the websites. There was also this interesting quote from Charles Johnson about that same time on ESPN1500 “It’s probably the worst thing I’ve went through,” Johnson said. “The rehab is crazy, it hurts, it’s terrible, but the one thing I really did appreciate about it was that each day you could see yourself growing and getting a little bit better, getting a little bit more strength, having a little bit more range of flexibility. It kind of gives you that confidence like, ‘I’m going to be alright.’
“[Bridgewater] is doing that. I’ve seen him running and doing all types of drills and stuff like that, so he’ll be straight.”
Here are some of the articles referencing the video from a google search for "Teddy Bridgewater rehab video"

It goes back to my question as to "why so much secrecy"? I had only 2 reasons I could think of but I thought of a third, maybe if things are going really well they want to prevent any kind of controversy firing up before they even get him on the field. If word got out he would be ready at or near the beginning of training camp it would be nonstop offseason fodder. Maybe they want to avoid that? IDK

Not much solid info. What is CJ going to say? Yeah my friend TB wont be ok? I have my doubts about TB playing at all in 2017?
I think they just want TB to focus on rehabbing instead of trying to come back for 2017 and being pressured by the media with endless rehab updates.

That is what I have said, I agree it's the most likely reason but I'm not sure I get the total secrecy behind it. CJ could have said nothing about "I’ve seen him running and doing all types of drills and stuff like that" I mean him saying that but then someone removing the video evidence is strange IMO.
