Yeah, once the swelling sets in, it is a whole different thing. You just never know tho.Ferg said he thought he could play through it, so there is that.
But I really doubt once it swells up and he loses most of the week he'll be able - or more realistically, allowed - to play. No sense in forcing it this early in the season anyway.
Yeah, I agree. He should sit out a game or two and rest it. It's a long season, and I would hate for him to reaggravate it and cause longer term issues.He’ll try to play for sure. The team needs to pull him back and give him a week, if that’s what they think.
Ferg is a tough sob and will always want to be out on the field. I love the guy.
I haven’t heard… but Stephen’s is a really good receiver, so I’m hoping it won’t be too long. I want to see him in the games that count.Step up Schoonmaker ! Also, how long is our # 3 TE supposed to be out with the hammy ?
The doctors and training staff will make the call. If he can play, he will and he should. Just don't leave it up to Jerry.....He’ll try to play for sure. The team needs to pull him back and give him a week, if that’s what they think.

Why? Bone bruise and slight MCL strain is just pain...let him sit at least THIS week.
"Pushing him to play?" It isnt complicated. If the Drs. clear him, he will play. If not, he will sit.Sit him down for the next game or two, it's way too early in the season to be pushing him to play especially since JJ traded Hendershot for a lousy 7th rd pick. That told all of Cowboy Nation that the TE core is stronger than ever and if Fergy can't go there are three very dependable TEs waiting in the wings. See depth chart below.
They have healthy players that can play and Ferguson can heal. Schoonmaker is better that what the fans think. It wouldn't hurt to let him play for a game and give Luepke more targets too.Why would anyone want to sit a player that can play? I don't get it....let him rest? He can take 2 or 3 weeks off and get hurt just as easily when he comes back. If he's hurt, he'll play, if he's injured he won't. Didn't Witten play with a lacerated spleen and broken jaw?
It doesn’t swell to its peak immediately?Yeah, once the swelling sets in, it is a whole different thing. You just never know tho.
He doesn’t suck. Yes he was overdrafted but if he was taken later people would call him a great backup.If Ferguson needs to sit a week that's fine I can deal with that because I thought it was going to be much worse when I saw the replay and just for the record Schoonmaker sucks and will just be out there because he has too.
Best of all - it’s not even your pain.Why? Bone bruise and slight MCL strain is just pain...
Speaking for myself, that sort of stuff usually feels much worse the next morning when you wake up.It doesn’t swell to its peak immediately?
Wouldn’t know.
