Doctor Jerry says there is a chance Ferguson can play Sunday.

Speaking on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he "absolutely" believes there's a chance Ferguson takes the field this coming Sunday, and then spoke to the dodged bullet.

Awww....Dr. Jerry has spoken.

Jerry should go ahead and fire MM and name himself HC. He's already been doing the job for the most part.

Even the fact it’s a possibility makes my day.

He could play, but that would make the injury worse.

Now I cannot get the theme music from ER out of my head. Again.

More terrible injured player management by Jerry.

When you play hurt you get more hurt. Ask Romo.

Maybe have him ready to play, but try not to. Or limit him. Ice probably plays with a knee brace. If it is not considered an injury. and it just hurts, it is a matter of pain management at that point.

Gotta love, Dr. Jerry! He gives fans what they want to hear. Best doctor on the Dallas Cowboys!

 

[CowboysRule]

Y'all realize he's just relaying what doctors have said. Jerry has no actual input on whether people play or not. But please, continue to bash Jerry.

To bad he's not Dentist Jerry

It's more than that. Dr. Chow explained it yesterday. He needs to rest it or it creates long term damage.

ER was one of my favorite shows!!! My ex was a Rheumatologist who would "moonlight" in the ED to make extra money. I could never watch ER with him because he would discredit everything they would do in the show. Like, for example, in the TV show, they would always crack open people's chests, and perform major surgeries in the ED. He said, "We NEVER do that in the ED. Those people are taken immediately to an OR!". I would have to remind him that it was just a TV show and not real life, and apparently the show's consultant wasn't very good at being realistic!!

We have as much right to bash Jerry as you have to defend / support him. That's how things work, or at least how they SHOULD work.

The issue many of us have is that it's Jerry making announcements like this and not his HC.

Jones (and any other general manager or coach for that matter) has the option of allowing either the team or player's physician to provide medical updates also. Personally, I would not bash a medical professional providing medical information on a player. Unless the physician was Dr. Romano. Then I would not care if a helicopter fell on top of him.

You just like to complain or be unhappy.

Only if he is carrying a tuba! If he can play, he should play.
He can trip on a blade of grass and injure himself, can't keep them in a bubble.

Sounds like your ex was as critical of medical shows as members are of Cowboys games in gameday threads.

I'd actually like him to heal and get back to 100%.
