Maybe it's just me but the neck roll makes me pause bit. Can't help but thinking back to Garrett's initial presser after his injury last season where he said they didn't his injury as career-threatening. What's even crazier, he volunteered the statement.

Can’t be. I was told by @black label that he would never play again. Ever. No chance. This is all bogus and fake news

I admit to being nervous about his neck too, I think that's only natural. But I'm choosing to go the 'cautiously optimistic' route on this one and hope that everything that he, the doctors, and the organization have said are true and that he can and will make a full recovery - until proven otherwise.

Agree but how to read this? Is he concern or just being cautious?
He added a neck roll to the inside of his pads to help him absorb contact better.

Likely a little bit of both, as he should be in my opinion. I'm sure he has some measure of doubt himself and is rightfully taking any and all steps he can in order to prevent it from happening again. Same as a guy who has had knees issues wearing a brace and giving himself the best chance to prevent a re-occurrence.

11 days until they are on the field.
Still seems a long way off.

But when that gets here. It is only 4 weeks until game 1.
At least there will be actually news and reports for those 4 weeks.

Even without fans, it will not be the same, but at least it will be football.

You posted before I could give that analogy. :thumbup:

I don’t know about some of the other guys in here I became a big fan of his. Can’t remember seeing a defensive player for Dallas that played with the enthusiasm and compassion for the game that he had. And then that injury last season. I’m an an optimist though and hope he’ll get back in there. I loved to watch this guy play.

He is moving the MIKE also isnt he?

Was that confirmed? Cant recall. This offseason would test anyone.

Virtually every player returning from an injury or surgery says the same thing!

Fingers crossed.

Spinal surgery is a big deal in my book. He's one play away from retirement.
