DLaw and Thornton?

[noletime95]

What's the word on their playoff availability?

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

They''ll be ready.

Thornton has a sprained ankle. Says he will play.

DLAW has a nerve/back issue. It is a nerve. No timetable.

I'd count on Thornton to return for the playoffs, but I wouldn't exactly count on Lawrence at this time. We'll see in a few weeks I guess, but something tells me he'll be sidelined a while.

 

[Carson]

The whole gang will be back. It's another three weeks until our playoff game

Lawrence will play. He played with the back problem for awhile before sitting. Pretty sure he wants to play in the playoffs. No guarantee we win our 1st game and move on to another.

They talked about this on the Break yesterday. If some guys have the chance to play towards the Super Bowl, they'll push themselves through some pain. I imagine a few of these guys will have that mentality as well. I mean, as long as it doesn't hinder the team.

I get the feeling we won't see Lawrence play another down until 2017.

We will know nothing of DLaw's availability until game time. So I would not count him out as some have done.
I can see several different possibilities though.

He will be ready and play.
He will get some plays in as a situational pass rusher. Now since Gregory is back, and Irving and Mayowa are getting a better pass rush.
He will be ready to play if needed, because of what I just said above, but if not needed, let him sit and rest for another week (which this applies for the next game too, if we win)
If Gregory and the other have a very strong performance Sunday, DLaw may just sit even if he is ready to go, as a precaution for the NFCCG / SB.

I think that covers all possibilities other than he simply will not play, which I doubt that is the case. And i say that just as a gut feeling, nothing else.

 

[erod]

Thornton will play.

Lawrence's career may be in jeopardy.

Last I heard they were making food errands for David Irving

 

[Sydla]

A month ago I would have said Lawrence would be the key guy to get back. But frankly, I think I'd rather have Thornton and Claiborne back healthy before Lawrence if I had to pick 2 out of those 3.

Lawrence will play. He played with the back problem for awhile before sitting. Pretty sure he wants to play in the playoffs. No guarantee we win our 1st game and move on to another.

I hope you're right, just hope that he won't risk further injury if he does end up playing before it's fully healed.

Um.... yeah.

Better to get Lawrence's feeling on this.

 

[Don Corleone]

Um.... yeah.

Better to get Lawrence's feeling on this.

He has a nerve issue. It isn't a physical issue with his back. That is a tricky situation.

Link stating nerve?

 

[Don Corleone]

Link stating nerve?

Well yeah, the back is the epicenter of the nervous system. This was reported by Sham on the radio, and he bit his tongue when he said, "By all accounts, Lawrence's back is physically fine. His issue is a nerve that is bothering him, and there is no timetable on that."

So it's not bone related. That's better.

Link stating nerve?

It was reported on the radio by Brad Sham, and he went hush when he realized he had gone too far. I caught it during his Cowboys hour at the Gaylord Texan earlier this week.
