As far as Bryant’s ability to play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, Jones said he doesn’t know how to read it. Bryant has not practiced all week. But he is doing rehab work with the team’s athletic trainers. The team refuses to rule him out.

Jones said it’s not an issue of him doing further damage to the injury, but more of an issue of ability to play and function with pain.

“I don't know. I think, again, it has to do with how sensitive,” Jones said. “I know that he's not only right now in terms of cutting and doing the things that you'll have to do to play.”

"I think it's the ability -- and it's not tolerance -- it's the ability to actually perform with pain. And that's different than tolerance. But your mind will absolutely react to a certain amount of pain no matter how tough you are."

Huh?

 

[Zordon]

the only time jerry shows any type of urgency anymore is when he's rushing his players back from injury.

 

[perrykemp]

Huh?

Basically completely opposite of what is stated in this article:

PFT: Dez Bryant’s leg fracture isn’t a pain issue, according to actual expert

.

“I don't know. I think, again, it has to do with how sensitive,” Jones said. “I know that he's not only right now in terms of cutting and doing the things that you'll have to do to play.”

Waiting for English translation.

I don't know what the heck Jerry is doing.

Does he believe the things he is mumbling to the press? Everybody knows Dez is out for some number of games (likely 3-4).

 

[Proximo]

I know don't what the hell heck Jerry is doing.

Bro, babbling like this makes me think you must be drinking whatever Jerry's drinking.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

For the life of me, why is Jerry discussing player injuries/availability..

 

[Plankton]

I now have greater understanding of why Jay Ratliff went off on him.

Saddle both him and Zeke up and ride them into the ground. Get your money out of them, Jerry.

He's Belicheking.

He went off because he's a nutcase.

I'm always amazed how brave Jerry is about playing his injured players when it's not his arse that's on the line. He's really consistent about that. What guts! Nevertheless, I'm glad to hear that the team won't be putting Dez at risk -- for this week, anyhow. Even if he's trying to fake out the other teams, nobody falls for it, regardless. Nice to know the doctors think it's best to err on the side of caution. Kudos -- good idea.
Thanks for that, at least.

There is a fracture on a weight-bearing part of a leg bone. NO!

Shut up, Jerry.

 

[superonyx]

I guess some other players better get ready to spread around Dez's 5 targets per game.

Dak will get a test without his $70 million dollar decoy.

Wasn't the same thing said about his foot last season? I guess this means they'll have him play on it and continue using him as a decoy.

Shut up, Jerry.

There may be some truth to what Jerry said about further damage not being the issue.
Depending on the spot and direction and size of the "slight hairline fracture" it may be possible that the amount of pressure needed to cause further breakage or damage is beyond the amount that could get put on the bone. The team may be playing it safe and feeling like the wet field in SF combined with the quality of the SF defense makes it a better move to rest him for the week. I guess we will see next week.
(I say all of this with no medical background whatsoever, and I didn't even stay at a holiday inn last night).

Where did Jerry Get his medical degree again.......cracker jack box or a box of fruit loops
