Drops what hint? Of course he is going to try to come back. This season, next season, who knows?

The team has yet to place him on IR which would cost him 8 weeks. IR timetable would allow for a Week 15 return against Myles Sackmaster Garrett and the Browns in Cleveland. I can't figure why they wouldn't IR because IR'ing him means he'd still be in play for Week 15. Perhaps, they believe he could return sooner and don't need to IR him?
If org is going to IR him in hopes of a return, they better do it this week. If org chooses not to IR this week it almost certainly has to mean they believe he's back in 8 weeks or less barring a setback.
Now, that he's communicated I expect @RapSheet to throw out a timeline before the weekend is over and maybe Friday.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
