Frederick back sooner than we think?

[ksg811]

If he’s already working out, he’s unlikely to go on IR. His quick progress is very encouraging.

 

[ESisback]

How many games does he have to sit out if they place him on IR?

 

[glimmerman]

He will be back soon. Already feeling better.

 

[ksg811]

How many games does he have to sit out if they place him on IR?

He’d have to be placed on IR after making the original 53 in order to be eligible to return. He’d be out for 8 weeks if placed on IR.

How many games does he have to sit out if they place him on IR?

6?

 

[CCBoy]

Don't mess with this one player...let him have free will and return when the decision is arrived at. Money be damned concerning his role with the Cowboys!

 

[VACowboy]

How many games does he have to sit out if they place him on IR?

Eight.

 

[IrishAnto]

As long as he's on the roster at the beginning of the season thay can designate him on IR to return.
I think after 8 weeks they can make the decision on his future.

This was exactly my thinking.

He was well enough to have been practicing two weeks ago, somthis thing hadn't affected him that badly. And if treatments started early and they're effective, what's to say he can't rebound in the same two weeks time?

How many games does he have to sit out if they place him on IR?

A player on injured reserve is eligible to return to practice if he has been on the IR list for at least six weeks from the date he was placed on IR. He is eligible to return to the active list if he has been on the IR list for at least eight weeks from the date he is placed on Injured Reserve.

 

[Direwolf63]

That's encouraging.

This team needs him.

I'm still hoping for the end of September. Although everyone is aware it may be longer than that.

He can't be back this soon. It will be years before he is even ok. It must be true. I saw it here.

 

[morasp]

The report I watched interviewed a specialist who said that the best case scenario would be four weeks. And they did say that catching it early was a big factor in the recovery time.

 

[Batman1980]

I'm not getting my hopes up until they give us a concrete time frame.

 

[Aviano90]

Waiting for the updated report: it really was just a stinger.

Good thing Fred was persistent.

 

[ghst187]

He will get a much earlier than expected return date and then Goodell will suspend him for being a cowboy til after the NYG game.

 

[Stash]

I'm not ruling him out of week one.

 

[Praxit]

If it makes us feel better, having him back by mid-season would be awesome. Hoping Looney and his Tunes can hold down the fort till then.

 

[ESisback]

I just don’t wanna rush him back. I know there’s no guarantees, but maybe we SHOULD put him on IR, pick up a vet after cuts, and roll with Looney. If we can’t win 5 games out of the first 8 without him, we don’t belong in the playoffs anyway, IMO.
