We don't see daily practice so I withhold some judgement in such situations, but in my eyes not playing him going forward would be some version of malpractice.

Tilly's injury happened so close to gametime that they had little time to prepare. It had a significant impact on how that game played out.

I think the position change has come with positives and minuses. I don't think regression is the right word for it.
