hmm interesting. anyone hear nick eatman on the break a couple days ago?

talked about how jaylon was asked way back what the brace was for and he said "to walk". fastforward to a couple days ago.. in nicks own words: "he still wears it".

doesnt sound too promising :/

Why do we think Jaylon...a rookie...is going to give us much if he were to come back in the playoffs? This is great news for the future....and it wouldn't be unprecedented for a rookie to be great out of the gate....but he's had so little real practice (yet alone game time) over the course of the last year...and he's jumping into the playoffs?

Here's to hoping..

Not getting my hopes up.
Nor am I. I think the team has to make a decision to either start practicing him or placing him on IR this coming week, if I recall the NFI timeline correctly (11 weeks total). Based on that, we'll likely know soon.

Jaylon just got done mowing my fescue and looked great. I have no doubt that he'll be ready.

Okay, that's the first time anyone has said anything about the nerve actually recovering. Before now, it's all been, "he looks great" and "he's in great shape" and "the knee is healed," all of which meant nothing to me. I'm choosing to be optimistic now (not about him playing this year, that's ridiculous).

Either way I'm glad to hear that the nerve is active. That's really positive news. Especially when we got a top 5 player from the draft in the second round. A few more pieces on defense and we are rocking. Imagine the cowboys run year after year if we nail the draft again.

Nick and Broaddus don't think the news would happen without going through them first. Broaddus especially has a meltdown when Garrett doesn't communicate things to them
