Bill O'Brien Speaking on Tight End Kaelan Chudzinski's Return From Achilles Injury
Oct 29, 2026
He's available, he's available, I think it's a game time decision.
And we'll see how he does tomorrow on the walkthroughs
and things like that.
But he's definitely trending
in the right direction as far as his rehab.
When he did that, which used to be out for the season, right?
But I give a lot of credit to him, Mike V, Joe Van Allen.
Our training staff's done a great job of getting him back ready to go.
We'll see about Saturday, I'm not sure about Saturday.
What does it say that he wants to come back with the games left?
How does that kind of epitomize who he is?
He's a winner, he wants to win.
Comes from a football family, hockey family too.
Dad's coach, dad's coach is here, mom was an athlete.
He grew up in an athletic family and he wants to win.
Just kind of curious what the timeline was that.
Did he suffer that right when the start of spring ball happened?
I don't know, I don't know, I'd have to get back to that.
I'm not trying to, I forget the exact date.
Yeah, but it was definitely less than a year.
Okay, and was it a full tear of his Achilles?
