Saints sign TE Foster Moreau to 3 year deal

I recall reading somewhere that if he did play this season, he'd be back about halfway through (don't know if that was true, conjecture, or I'm just imagining things, though.). Does this mean he's still missing time, or he's been cleared to play by Week 1?
I read where he could possibly return in mid October. That was when he got the better news after receiving the initial news.
