So if you're to read between the lines, Keenan is saying he has a Grade 3 Flexor strain which is typically 8 weeks before you want to test it and he probably wants to accelerate that schedule which would be a mistake (it's like a hamstring pull in that if you test it too soon you just re-injure it and set yourself back 8 weeks again). So he could see the field in week 4 or 5, maybe be ready to start week 6. If he went to IR (formerly known as designated to return) I believe the soonest he could be back was week 8.
With the young talent at CB, and if my conjecture is correct, I think IR is probably the best move for the team.
