[CrownCowboy]

Thats what I like to hear!

 

[phildadon86]

This is good news. Looks like the are going to evaluate him tomorrow and see how his foot held up

 

[JohnsKey19]

He'll travel to NY. His status wont be known until Sunday around 200PM Eastern time.

 

[MrMom]

And for the important news...

I just don't see it.

But if he's merely on the field, it would take the Giants defense completely out of what they want to do.

If hes running and cutting in the early practice, i think they image the foot, ask him how much pain he is in, and go from there. They arent going to rush it. Dez is a freak of nature however, so his pain tolerance in my opinion is much higher then yours or mine. I think he sees practice tomorrow and friday. If he is running and cutting already, thats a very very good sign.

It's not about pain tolerance, running, or cutting. It's about how solidly that bone has healed and how much stress it can take.

 

[Daillest88]

yes!!! even if he doesn't play sunday this is excellent news

If he is 100% I don't know if he should play this week. At the moment he has zero practices with Cassel. Throwing him in there may be more harmful than useful.

he has to practice at full speed before he can see game action. he might hurt something else by overcompesating for the previous injury. it happens all the time. let the man heal to close to 100% and string a couple of practices together before sending him out there.

Yep. which is why Nike has made him a special shoe for his right foot and the trainers are working with inserts to give him extra protection and support. If he can run and cut at full speed-- I dress him for Sunday's game and get him out there-- even if he's just a decoy. His presence will not only open up the offense and back the defense off-- it will also serve as a huge morale boost for the entire team.

Is it? I'm not being a smart A at all, I just don't understand how it works.

It's odd they mention bone scans "getting better" - I feel like it's either knitted together or it's not. Any medial specialists in this area know the facts? (you might be, I don't know)

Thanks for posting Mr. Mom...especially the most pertinent tweet...Red's response to meeting Dallas Bryant the monkey. Lol!

If he is close to 100% and wants to play-- play him. This offense can only be improved with a WR like Dez on the field. Just monitor his foot and if you need to-- limit his snaps.

You can't play football scared. If the bone is healed and he is medically cleared-- get him back out there.

None of us know the true severity of his injury either.

So we'll just have to see.


All along Dez told us not to listen to outsiders when it comes to this.

If he is already running and cutting at full speed then this injury may not be anywhere near as bad as what was being reported.

 

[Wayne02]

Don't think he'll be ready for Sunday, but I definitely think he'll be back for Seattle the following week.

 

[Future]

Yep.

Even if Dez feels good, a fragile bone is a dangerous thing to paly with.

If he's 100%, he's miles better than any WR we've got. Practices with Cassell or not, he'd play.

I'm not worried about his bone. At the moment he has zero chemistry with Cassel in practice. At least Cassel has been able to work with other guys for about 3 weeks now.
