Frederick not going on IR

[waldoputty]

given the huge variations possible, would not be surprised if he plays week 1. or he needs more than 8 weeks.

Santa Claus isn’t real. The Giants will have 6 or less wins and won’t be a threat in the NFC for several more years. NE will win their division. Bellichick is a cheater. Jerry Jones is a slime ball. Ford is better than Chevrolet. Dlaw will have at least 3-4 sacks in his first two games. The sun will rise in the east and set in the west. Phillip Rivers will never win a Super Bowl. The Rams or Eagles will have on of the top 3 defenses. Rico will get suspended at some point. The Cowboys won’t get Earl Thomas this year. Jason Witten will go down as the best TE to ever play for the Cowboys (even 20 years from now). Mike Holmgren is over rated. College football is better than NFL. The NFL will continue to ruin and dilute the game with rules and bad officiating. There will be a lockout during the next CBA. The Cowboys will always be favored with a Thanksgiving Day game. Starting to have faith in Stephen being as bad as Jerry (used to not think that).

Would you like me to address specific subjects other than football? We can start a new thread in a separate forum or I can PM you which could be really interetsing and could make you think I should be committed, maybe I should?

PS. I hope you enjoyed your walk! Missing a good game at Jerry World though.

Actually college football is better than NFL.....

I don't like this. For the long-term benefit of the team, I think Frederick should take a couple of months off to get his body healed and back in shape before taking the field. Putting him on I/R makes more sense to me.

They have more information then we do.

If you are doubting their judgement then I don’t blame you.

He was practicing with it early on and he said he’s feeling much better now then he has in awhile.

It wouldn’t completely shock me if he plays.

the key is is there any possible long term damage if he plays. i am not sure about that. i read that he should stop for a while somewhere but dont remember the details.

If the Cowboys don’t have any working knowledge of Fred’s timetable, this was a horrifying move to just give up a roster spot

Which is why I said “College football is better than NFL”

I'm a bit surprised by this too. Two months is not a long time. Seems like they're rushing this. But who knows, maybe they're content just leaving him on one of the inactive slots for a few months. Only two players can return from IR and they may be saving them.

 

[Nightman]

Best news today

 

[star-ving]

Not surprised, hopefully he’s fully ready when he comes back. I have zero faith in our team doctors/Jerry making medical decisions on whats best for the players.

Well...They didn't appear to be wrong about The Jaylon.

 

[coult44]

More good news.

It is absolutely great news, but how is it more great news? What else was great?

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I like the move because we keep our options open and do not shoot ourselves in the foot.

This is a weird illness and I recall seeing a hockey player getting misdiagnosed recently. A lot can happen between now and Week 8.

 

[Aviano90]

Let the week by week speculation begin. Let's go Week 1. C'mon Fred Beard.

You trust them? Cool.

You prefer CowboysZone assessment of his health?

Rushing what?

Everything up to date.

If the doctors give him the ok to play and playing doesn't do any further harm, and he can play at an acceptable level, then why not play. As long as it is not doing any harm, maybe playing would be beneficial. He said he was feeling much better after two treatments. It appears that it was caught early and the treatments seem to be working.

Funny how fans think they know more than team doctors and trainers. The front office made this decision based on the doctor's report and medical staffs advice, not some dude sitting at home on his computer.

Yep!
