Thanks Dr. Joe.A lot worried. His strained calf is a minor injury that can be made worse if he doesn't allow it to heal properly. The team's stated goal of getting him ready to play against the Vikings seems like a bad idea to me. I fear Dak will only make his injury worse and thus miss even more games. I think the proper course of action, out of an abundance of caution is to sit Dak out of the next two games.
For his 1st 4 years, he never missed a game. He was a tank. But starting last year, he missed most the year. Needed 2 surgeries on his ankle. Then gets a new injury in his shoulder in the offseason. And now a calf strain. I am not going to start comparing him to Romo at all but I hope we don't see these injuries start to pop up every year and we get to what Romo became where it was always something every season. This is what separated him from Romo.
I think the acumen of the Cowboys medical staff will supplant the forum's collective medical expertise.A lot worried.

Who is saying he is healthy enough to play? I notice you said, "if". That little word changes everything. He may even believe he can play but with a healing calf strain that can change in a heartbeat. We have a 3 game lead on the WFT and we play them twice so we can afford to let Dak rest two games. You are talking nonsense if you think anyone else in this division is a threat to this team. We need Dak healthy going into the playoffs so he needs to let this stained calf heal properly. You just sound like a scared chicken.
I agree so I'm sure you'll understand when Dak is forced to sit out a couple of weeks.I think the acumen of the Cowboys medical staff will supplant the forum's collective medical expertise.
You are so traumatized by 2020. It must really suck to live in fear as you do.You have memory issues Joey . The WFT dominated Dallas twice last yr in fact Thanksgiving Mike’s fake punt on our own 20 is highlight reel film on America’s funniest home videos.
Sit Dak “ out of caution “ and 5-3 looks like another race to the bottom to see who wins the East . If the mans healthy he plays case closed . If not Cooper Rush will be Ron Rivera’s best friend.
He broke his ankleFor his 1st 4 years, he never missed a game. He was a tank. But starting last year, he missed most the year. Needed 2 surgeries on his ankle.

It's football. Everyone is nicked up.For his 1st 4 years, he never missed a game. He was a tank. But starting last year, he missed most the year. Needed 2 surgeries on his ankle.

Enough! I trust the trainers and medical staff to make the right decision on this. It's immature to argue about something we have no control over. I've made my opinion known. Now we'll just have to wait and see what happens.Your the fear merchant . My goodness “ we should hide him out of caution “ ahhh hide him lol
Nope.
Ankle break was a freak major Injury
Shoulder was a nothing burger ...he's been perfect
Calf strain was minimal and he could have played through.
Injuries happen in football....he's tough and will be great
