Pin pointing when to expect a player back has caused riffs between the player and organization. We had a NT named Jay they said would be back in six weeks. Nine weeks later everyone was thinking Jay was faking it and unreliable. (Kawhi Leonard) After that Garrett started using day to day. So I understand why Garrett does it.
As a human being I can't control what i like and don't like. That happens naturally. So sometimes Garrett's day to day comments rub me the wrong way, because it toys with my piece of mind.
Here we are going into a game with no Gallup. If there is no Cooper then we are looking at a potential loss. So in this situation I'd like to here Garrett say, "Cooper will be a go for Sunday." That would really put my mind at ease.
We love our 'Boys and we worry about the players health. That's just part of being a fan, because heath issues lead to losses.
