I'm not sure that it would. I mean, let's be honest. If he doesn't show up till Week 8, he's not playing right away. We know Andy and his M.O. They'll say 'he's getting things down and we'll play him when he's ready'. That first game would be in Denver at Mile High. He's not playing. Next week is Miami in Germany. Yeah, not happening. Then the Bye Week in week 10. So he's not playing a full NFL game till Week 11 at the earliest.
They'll treat those first 3 weeks like training camp and pre-season for him and then try and have him ready to go come Week 11 so he could be in 'football shape' by time he hits the field.
