1 to 3 weeks out seems to be the typical time frame. Being that this looked very serious, I'd expect 3 weeks minimum. Since Dillon is playing so well, I don't think (pure spec) that we'll see Dante until the Northwestern game as a reliever if the game is in hand.

Second, It's understandable the amount of attention is directed at #8's actions & behaviors after the play.

That being said, it is disappointing that so many talking head honks are calling it a late slide or a "bang bang" play that couldn't be avoided as an excuse for the hit. There are still images that clearly show Dante approximately mid slide with his right knee and all of his lower leg in contact with the turf and #8 is approximately 4 feet away with his right foot (the leg he uses to drive the hit) just about to touch the turf. From what I see, #8 loaded & delivered the hit with intent after Dante was clearly down. #8 had opportunity to at minimum try to avoid contact, but decided to deliver a punishing blow. The hit itself as delivered would be a penalty against any player anywhere on the field at anytime. Even if he attempted to avoid collision with Dante, any contact to the head would still draw a penalty.

Bottom line, it was a dirty hit that he delivered with intent!

Yeah, people see what they want to see. The reality of that situation is that nobody has to tackle a guy who is already on the ground. That's a conscious choice to go down with him and deliver that blow, and we see many players jumping over the QB instead - happens all the time. If there is any doubt as to intentionality though, all one needs to do is watch the demonstration by that player after the play is over. He goes on and on as if he just knocked out Ali instead of a guy who gave himself up after running for a first down. Literally the only thing to celebrate there for the defensive player is the hit. Everything else being said is just nonsense. I thought the announcers in the Ducks vs Them were hilarious. That was a great find by the production team.

Same deal with the fan they cut to who was getting mad that they got a penalty for targeting Dante. These people incriminate themselves.
