Could it be healed in 4 weeks?

Metatarsals heal in 7-10 weeks w/out anything just a cast... he has screws put in and plasma injections so that speeds up the healing time but about 3-5 weeks depending on severity of break, putting him about 4-6 weeks recovery. he's still going to need injections during game and heavy tape job for pain but he will be able to run and cut. just at this point depends on pain management..
 
Dez is undoubtedly a sure bet to want to come back ASAP and Jerry sure isn't one to discourage such things.

Whether his foot decides to cooperate with that plan or not remains to be seen. All we can do is hope it works.

Sometimes, docs allow the players to make decisions based on how they feel. If that's the case, Dez will play.

No they won't. They're not stupid. Dez is a cornerstone for this franchise. If the bone has healed and the doctors clear him Dez will play. If not he'll sit out another week. Don't know what's so hard for this for people to grasp.

Exactly. The Cowboys aren't going to jeopardize the 70 million dollar man's future. Especially considering he is the face of the franchise.

I'm pretty sure if you had Dez's talent and his contract and you were playing for the Dallas Cowboys - you wouldn't be on the couch. You'd be out there busting it every day to get back. Years ago I played in national fast pitch softball tournaments and I knew guys who tried to come back from ACL's and rotator cuff surgeries way too early just to play and they would hurt themselves all over again. Nobody cared about them, it was softball for God's sake - they just wanted to get out there and compete.

When you're young - honest - you just want to play no matter what.

Did those guys have professional training staffs that were responsible for their short and long term health?
 
Lots of Dr's in this thread. If he is cleared to play it means he is healed and can play. No one is going to risk giving him clearance if they think that it is not 100% or that they think he could re-injure it.
 
I would work him back into the mix slowly. He would NOT get his normal # of plays during the game until the last quarter of the season. He would NOT get his normal practice reps during the week. I would not have him running the entire route tree until the last quarter of the season. His value will be in commanding double teams...redzone threat.....3rd and short...he does not need to catch 50 yards bombs as soon as he gets back to provide value...so I hope they insert him judiciously!

P.S. - also, he does not to try to break 20 tackles after the catch.

JG has said specifically it isn't a toughness thing. Either the bone will be healed or it won't be.

I sense this is sarcasm, but sometimes you just don't really know.
 
Either the bone is healed or it isn't. I seriously doubt Dez is ******* with the x-rays.
