Whatever it takes Dan. On the floor, on the bed, in the shower. Honestly, sleeping on the floor is great for your back though. Go cowboys!

It was a mattress at the hotel they stayed in.

"I don't know,'' Bailey said. "The last time we were there they had the Sleep Number beds, so hopefully I can dial it in.''

I just hope his back doesn't force him to dial his performance in this week.

Brett Favre should loan one of his copper waist bands to Bailey. It might help Dan whip Favre's old Packer team that he hates so much . . .

Whatever you gotta do Dan cause you're the only kicker I have right now on my fantasy team.

I'd imagine kicking isn't too good on the back. That's a lot of torque in that area kicking a football on an NFL level.

Haha same. I had to pick up Philly's kicker. Hoping they kick 5 field goals and lose.

Dan Bailey's back still doesn't feel right. But the kicker hopes to make it through Sunday's game, recover during the bye week and return to form for the final 10 weeks of the regular season.
"We're still working through it a little bit,'' Bailey said. "It's just one of those things we have to manage until we get to the bye week. Get some rest and do some treatment to hopefully get back to 100 percent.''

Bailey experienced no discomfort until the morning of the San Francisco game on Oct. 2. His back didn't feel right and he informed the training staff immediately. He believes a soft bed was the culprit.

"I think that's what triggered it or made it flair up,'' said Bailey, who has never had a problem with his back before. "But obviously there was something there pre-existing I didn't know about.''

Bailey didn't kick on Wednesday leading up to the Cincinnati game. It was the first practice he can remember missing for any reason in college or the NFL.

Well, he did miss part of practice in college but it had nothing to do with an injury.

"I did miss half of a practice in college to go to my graduation ceremony, but came back for the second half,'' Bailey said. "I was one of the first groups.''

It helps when your last name begins with a "B.''

The injury has forced Bailey to alter his routine heading into games. He's stretching more than he has in the past and may keep that as part of his regimen going forward.

The bigger question is this: does he intend to sleep on the floor of the team hotel the night before the Green Bay game?

"I don't know,'' Bailey said. "The last time we were there they had the Sleep Number beds, so hopefully I can dial it in.''
