Twitter: Gil Brandt with another Jaylon Smith update

[plymkr]

I don't care as much about him being available this year as much as I care about the nerve is firing. That's awesome.

 

[cej757]

As well he should. Its the team's official site. You start there

Broaddus also said he was told they weren't gonna draft Zeke either. I don't where he gets his inside info from but he seems to always be wrong.

Geriatric Gil serving as the mouthpiece of Dr. Jerry.

Pretty much how all the team updates should come out. Ed Werder meanwhile is shoulder deep in the team dumpster scouring through Romo ball cap labels, empty bags of monkey food, and Randy Gregory's ashtray remnants looking for some hot news to report.

 

[TRUTH87]

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

true but i mean the fact he still wears it says alot. imo

If Jaylon comes back and plays as he's expected to, this has the potential to be one of the best drafts in cowboys history

 

[waldoputty]

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..

Smith would be a liability in the playoffs, not having gone through OTA's, training camp, preseason or the regular season. He's been spending months rehabbing and hoping a nerve fires.

Foot...not knee

I don't necessarily disagree with you either.

 

[Proof]

Costs nothing to be optimistic, I can afford it.


Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Titleist]

He's a top 10 pick without the injury. Elite measureables, a sure tackler, and incredible instincts

Reminds me a lot of Derrick Johnson for some reason

Don't shoot the messenger... RE: Jaylon Smith

WG, I really hope this is true, but the fact it says "Jerry says" causes it to lose credibility to the point where you have to wonder what the truth really is.

Foot...not knee

I don't necessarily disagree with you either.

I edited out knee, wasn't sure it was his knee or his foot.

 

[bayeslife]

true but i mean the fact he still wears it says alot. imo

But he doesn't. Maybe when he's sprinting or working out ? He's on Twitter constantly and you don't see a brace in anyone of his pictures or videos.

 

[fatboygixxer]

Great news in regards to the offseason workouts..that's all it is people.

 

[lukin2006]

Good news if true ... this draft could really be epic, the type of draft that set the team up for the next 10 years...

 

[waldoputty]

Yes, the team has to either practice him or place him on IR next week, according to every timeline I've seen. IF he starts practicing next week he would have 6 weeks of the regular season left to get into football shape and, perhaps, get some playing time in before the playoffs. I think the optimism on the part of some people is based on that. As for me, I'll believe it when I see it.

he is probably still rehabbing.
they are probably not going to be sure, so they will have to invest the roster space in case he is ready.
they can always IR him later?

 

[movaughn88]

I believe. Super Bowl MVP. LETS DO THIS, WHO'S WITH ME??!?!!!!

 

[ElGatoGrande]

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 :/

That's inferring a lot,,,,

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Good news.

Unfortunately, it was delivered by Jerruh which lowers the reliability factor.

Try weeks ago, not days.
