Viska posted a video of himself in practice gear to instagram with the caption "the return of 2live". Its up on the score prediction thread h/t B_Walk. We might have him back.
Here's that link one more time-again H/T B_Walk for catching this.

That's an old picture from a photo shoot in Folsom before the season. I'd be surprised if he plays this week.

Yes, I understand when he posted it, but it's an old picture. He's not practicing and is still unlikely to play.
Him posting "The return of 2Live..." is the intriguing aspect of it, not the picture itself. Why would he say that if he wasn't planning on getting back on the field?

You're asking me to translate the social media posts of a 20-year old? He hasn't practiced in weeks and been in a boot for most, if not all, of that time. Even if he does come back, how healthy can he be?
100% Viska is great. I don't know if we've even had that all year due to that AC sprain. That may have healed with this month off. Also, 80% Viska sounds good. 90% Viska is very very good.
I'm translating it for you. I think he's back this week.
I know. Lower body injuries tend to linger, though. He's young, so I guess it shouldn't surprise me if he were to play. I'll still believe it when I see it.
Thank you. There isn't any translating to do. Pretty straight forward.

Is he 80%? I'll believe it when I see him on the field. Mac's comment today has me thinking otherwise.
Mac won't tell the media if Viska is gonna play until he walks on the field, just like he didn't tell anyone that Viska wasn't gonna play until they walked onto the field without him. But that's the only piece of evidence that explains the point spread to me.
Not saying it's a slam dunk, but it makes sense.
Also, with turf toe, it's either go or no go. No reason he couldn't be ready to roll.
That's a good point, I'd forgot about that part.

Is he translating it or is there no translating to do? A lot of people pinning their hopes to an instagram post.
Winfree did the same thing when he came back. It's how these kids roll. Everything is an announcement on social media because, you know, they're the most important person in the world.
From what I've heard disregarding the Instagram post is that he is back this week.

Either that or Vegas thinks we've got some Cougin' it on the way before the end of the year....kidding. Might also factor into the TV time for this game. I expected it to get banished to P12N or ESPN after dark.

Not really liking any of this.
Really going to try and leverage injuries into another year. Don't think RG is going to bite.
Yeah, I will have to listen to the interview because a lot of the time he is asked about it and doesn’t just bring it up on his own but this is why you recruit and develop depth. I get the place kicking and punting thing because that is straight up ridiculous and bad luck but that hasn’t cost us any games IMO.
Depends on how we finish the season.
1) As I have previously mentioned, injuries have not really occurred at CRITICAL positions.
2) Landman is apparently not that banged up if he plays almost all the snaps except 3rd down
3) You can do something about on-field injuries. You recruit better players and develop better depth.
