tough has nothing to do with it being healthy and playing well. as Baker dudes been playing with shoulder injury thats popped out 3 time's and kept going back in , deosnt help to be tough if you cant function properly..talk about tough i mean they had to pop that shoulder back in twice the last game turns out he has full labrum tear and fracture of the orbital bone the shoulder pops in and he kept playing and lobbied to play Thursday. they were smart to go with CaseK. good thing they had backup..umm see cooper rush smh

howd that philly game go in 19 when dak toughed it out..he looked horrible and we lost the season and division over that shoulder..not being able to plant or push off can effect a throw especially accuracy and velocity..Jimmy looks like he wil play thats why we should see how he pays..

Jimmy played in SB

last i checked dak hasnt won game 2 in the playoffs..

nice no reason rip on JG..smh
Sorry I upset you.

why because they have a very similar situation both calf injuries' right before the his bye and now Jimmys practicing to see if he can play and how well this weekend..

Its worth a look just to gauge how this goes if he starts..if he does start how well he plays and IF he re-tweaks it.

i know there DC FO needs to watch..we might have to go with option 2 and let dak heal up against the vikes vs him re-tweaking and it lingering..

there are far bigger games coming then the Vikings.

a heavy run game and solid defense with no crazy analytics clock issues in the game

we could still win :) Maybe :)
Thing is there are 3 grades of calf strains,

Grade 1 degree strain Symptoms:
  • Slight swelling and bruising.
  • The muscles can feel tight and ache when stretched.
  • Pain/discomfort can be felt after the activity, and can last from between 2-5 days
Grade 2 degree strain Symptoms:
  • The pain is immediate.
  • The muscle can be tender to touch.
  • There is inflammation.
  • A few days after the injury, bruising will appear below where the partial tear has occurred.
  • The muscle feels tight and painful on resisted plantar flexion (pointing the toe).
Grade 3 degree strain Symptoms – a complete rupture
  • Pain is felt immediately, and can feel like a burning or stabbing sensation.
  • The muscle is tender to touch.
  • Inflammation occurs.
  • A lump of muscle tissue can be felt where the tear has occurred.
  • A few days after the injury, bruising will appear below where the rupture has occurred.
  • Pain is felt when walking or weight bearing.
  • Unable to contract the muscle, as the muscle has ruptured completely.

Which grade of strain did Garoppolo have? which one is Dak dealing with. Trying to compare 2 players with quote a calf strain is kind of misleading since the severity of the strain is an unknown so may be completely different in terms of treatment and recovery time

Players play hurt.

Didn’t Trey Lance get hurt last game ? Shame he has flashed some nice abilities in the short time he’s been playing. 49ers may have hit on something in the future. Now Jimmy G having started in a SB is a nice luxury to fall back on.

Dallas I wouldn’t mind seeing them spend a 4th or a 5th rounder in next yrs draft on a backup project to Dak, that position has to get stronger.

problem with trying to compare an injury like this is like trying to compare a 1st degree burn to a 3rd degree burn. While both instance a person has been burned the severity of it and overall treatment is much different.
This is a good analogy.

I've had a few calves at my ranch that have had issues. Had to bury a few and put down a couple, but most walk it off in a few days....
Pulling a calf on the ranch is an entirely different thing. Unless of course, you pull a calf while you are pulling a calf....

Yes and not so great i mean Mayfelid was hurting his team by playing and Dak in 19 hurt us in tat philly 2 game..

a player being brave and tough but not being able to deliver is useless..i rather have dak miss 2 games IF we have viable backup then have this linger into big games coming up.
