Pitch count, No Pitch count this is great news! He will be worked back in slowly unless he is just tearing it up, and at that point you just let him do his thing.

I would expect you see him on first down and crucial 3rd downs and Red zone plays

I wonder if they're going to limit him because of his foot or his conditioning. Hopefully he gets a few looks in the red zone. Can't settle for FG's.

He wont draw double teams so he will only help so much. The same guys we have been clamoring to step up need to play better.

Pitch count? Does Dez know this? I would love to be a fly on the wall when he was told this. They are going to have hide his helmet or Hardy is going to have hold him back for him to go out there. Gotta love Dez's competitiveness. I know I for one would want to be out there on every down especially in the heat of the competition.

Gotta believe he wouldn't be out there at all if his foot was an issue in any way. Gotta be purely conditioning, IMO.

Why won't he draw double teams? If he doesn't they will take shots with Dez in single coverage.

Don't see a confirming article although this is good enough for me. Just want to post an article. Let me know if you find one or just post a link please. Thx

Good news... Just having Dez on the field creates a threat that should open things up for other players. I'd hit him early to reinforce the notion that he can hurt the Seattle defense, and then utilize him primarily as a decoy.

He needs some time to get back into game shape and adapt to game speed with the injury. Let him run some routes, make some blocks, and catch 3-4 balls. Have him ready to rip Philly a new one next week. ;)

At time WRs have to go deep several plays in a row. He'll need a blow after that IMO. OTOH, he may surprise and go most of the game. I love this guy.
