Could Lee return by December?

[jobberone]

Depends on what they find at surgery, the type of repair, and how he heals and rehabs. You do your best and let nature take its course. If they put him on IR after Sep4 then he can return in six weeks.

Time to move on, gentlemen. Sean Lee is a waste of time. He's got all the ability besides availability.

By December you'll be talking about the 2015 draft.

Yes. According to this article, Melvin Ingram and Michael Crabtree both tore their ACLs at the same time last year and returned in December to help their teams.

who cares he will stub his toe on the first play and be out the remaining games

We're talking about Sean Lee. He needs to be handled extremely carefully if he is in fact in this team's future as I expect. I don't doubt that Sean or any pro player can rehab viciously and return to the field in 6 months. I don't think it's in the player's best interest in this situation and certainly not the team's.....

How is it not in his interest? Cleared to play means he's ready. Not cleared means he's not

 

[Teague31]

I would put him on PUP to start. It costs the team nothing to do so. That gives you plenty of time to see how rehab is going. You can always put him on IR at a later date

To help a 5-9 team? What's the point?

if the team was 10-4 we wouldn't need him either.

Yes. According to this article, Melvin Ingram and Michael Crabtree both tore their ACLs at the same time last year and returned in December to help their teams.

Lee hasn't even undergone surgery yet he would never be ready to go by Dec. With the investment Jerry made in him prior to last season you can bet the farm he's going to error on the side of caution with Lee. The last thing Jerry would do is put a rusty, rehabbing Lee back on the field in Dec against players who are in mid season form. It would be a disaster waiting to happen. He could re tear his ACL or suffer another major injury that would likely finish him for good.

Any player returning from an ACL is going to be tentative especially a snake bit player like Lee who by Dec will have gone a full year without any game action. He's going to need a full offseason of OTA's, training camp and preseason to have confidence in the knee and be ready to go. It's critical he's able to return in 2015 because it would take a top tier free agent who the Cowboys likely won't be able to afford to replace him or a high draft pick.

Agreed.

Let nature, Lee and his doctors decide.

LOL!

Luv the clip from "Black's Books"... great series.

Pretty witty I must say. With that, he is a for sure penciled in starter for next year and hopefully we'll be more comfortable with his depth guy after whoever that is gets this year of experience

 

[OhSnap]

Yes. According to this article, Melvin Ingram and Michael Crabtree both tore their ACLs at the same time last year and returned in December to help their teams.

Yes hopefully they'll rush him in and shuffle things around the way they did the O-line in 09 before the Vikings game. It would be kinda like RGknee in the playoffs.

Stranger things have happened than a guy being cleared to play after an injury. If he's cleared, what difference does it make if his first time on the field is in Week 17 or week 1 next year?

 

[CooterBrown]

I don't think he ought to play this year, even if he could. However, just to keep him focused on helping the youngsters, and keeping the season alive until he can get back, I think they need to keep that possibility out there in front of him.

If this doesn't happen don't expect Risen to ever admit he was wrong.

This post was for laughs and likes.

Risen doesn't do accountability.

Laughs?

Laughs?

I can only imagine that the serial pessimists find happiness in their posts.

 

[XxTDxX]

If by some miracle Dallas made it past the wildcard round, it would be plausible.

If by some miracle the Cowboys make the playoffs and the defense looks decent I am letting whichever young guy has put in the work all year to let us get there keep his spot.

i don't think he can be put on pup list for an injury that occured during the season. i believe thats only for injuries players have coming into the season, not those during the season

 

[Venger]

You are more likely to see the real Santa Claus in December than Sean Lee on a active game day roster...
