Can anyone confirm whether Spencer is practicing?

[iceman117]

the procedure probably just wasn't as quick and easy as they had hoped it would be, or maybe Spencer is just being cautious cause this is his contract year, and the last thing he wants is to be hurt all year, and put in a sub-par performance when trying to get a huge deal. Its a gray area ...very very gray.

True.

First off, he's not practicing when the media is there.

Second, there seems to be some hope he may practice tomorrow.

Even if he plays Sunday, I would only expect about 15-20 snaps. Conditioning is probably the main concern at this point.

Its a contract year!! if i was Spencer i wouldnt play until i was 100%.

Game tape has to be gold to max out your last big contract.

If I am his next employer, it would send a red flag that he is unable to get on the field for health reasons. I would think it is in his best interest to play.

I'll forward this to Jerry just in case.

Today is the day. If he practices, he likely plays. If not, no way. So, if anyone has info, please post. Thanks

Franchise players don't half to practice. they just show up and excel. (ouch. I rolled my eyes so much that it hurt really bad)

No Spencer, no Ratliff, no Crawford on the line. Other than that, our defense is healthy. Eli might have a lot of time to throw. I predict a high-scoring shootout.

I would say blitz the arses, but I'm not sure I trust our safeties enough to do that very often.
Nicks, Cruz, Randle, and now Meyers....that's a handful.

Of course, Tony has his weapons too!

Here's to hoping the young players take care of business on the DL and Rat, Spence are playing someplace else next season. Sick of both of em.

Yes, i hope THERE IS HOPE he can practice soon.

Can anyone imagine Jimma putting up with these fragile (an Italian word) players? Jimma would have yelled at them for having surgeries/injuries at camp time. then he would half said: "These players are hurt. They can't play. They can't do us any good. We will get players who PLAY."

Now, back to reality: Both Jason and Jerra will say: "They are competitors and half injuries. They are really sorry and hope to get back with us as soon as possible because they are competitors, they are intelligent and work really hard."

So you see how Jimma teams succeeded and post-Jimma teams half not.

Or maybe that since he is on a one year contract, it's in HIS best interest to not play until he's 100% positive he's completely healthy so he doesn't re-aggravate his knee. In fact, I think the fact that he's likely to be on the market next year is a big reason he's being cautious.

I wouldn't want spencer in there if he can't go...why risk losing him for a much longer period of time....I would be very happy with the 15-20 snaps as some have suggested, but if he sits against the giants so that he can play at full speed in Week #2, then sign me up
