At this point they're not going to scratch him in favour of the corpse of Brad Richardson, and they can't have 24 men on the active roster, so they have to give him a limited role and hope he's mostly harmless until he gets over the rust.

This. Pretty hard to do hi-intensity and cardio after most hip surgeries. Assuming he had hip labrum repair that's six months for a regular person.
