Julius Jones - When does he come back?

[SupermanXx]

When the hell is someone going to come out and let us know when Julius is expected back?

My guess is that he's playing against Seattle but Parcells wants to keep it under wraps

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

We'll have to wait and see what happens @ practice over the next two days..

 

[rojan]

I would love to see Jones play againt Seattle next week...I know you guys remember the Monday Nighter last season

 

[BlueWave]

Funny how the guy supposedly could have come back against the Eagles, but then is now out until who knows when............

 

[Da Hammer]

My favorite game of last year, as it was J.Jones coming out party

 

[SkinsandTerps]

The Giants face Denver.
The Eagles face San Diego
The Cowboys face Seattle.

I love the NFCE this season.

The Commanders face the 49ers which should be a win. The rest of the NFCE has some tough games.

Big games this weekend. Unfortunately for every other team in the NFCE it will come off as a great win, the Commanders on the other hand are expected to win 11.5 favorites.

..a high ankle sprain in a RB is serious stuff.

Just to show you how serious..when Crayton's agent was asked about Patrick's injury today, he said they were relieved it was some torn ligaments and not a high ankle sprain. The torn ligaments would only keep Patrick out 6-8 weeks.

So what does that mean for a high ankle sprain..? 6-8 weeks..? More..?

I'm not sure what this means, it maybe a lingering thing that could limit Julius all year at this point in the season with 10 games left. It would have been better if this had happened early in the season to give him time to get better sooner.

I think why BP is not saying anything at this point is to not put too much pressure on the rest of the RB's and Bledsoe with the offense burden. I think the players know what's going on. I think they'll all have to step up and try to make more plays with Julius out until maybe after the Bye week..

..that's my thinking at this point. He's probably out until then and then we'll see where he is. We'll aslo see where the other RB's are taking his place this week.

I'm not sure you put him in against the Seahawks this week and risk further injury when if he gets another week of rest on it after Sundays game.

That would mean 3 weeks of rest and rehab and not aggrevating his ankle and only missing 2 games.


And even when he comes back, if he comes back that quickly, I suspect he'll be limited severely on his carries so as not to further injury himself. Like maybe 12-15 carries upon returning with the other RB's carrying the rock alot.

To make him ready for the last third of the season.

That's my guess.

The only big difference in seattles defense this year is they are missing a lineback and their saftey.. Should be a good performance from JJ if he is healthy.

 

[Silverstar]

What about Dat?

 

[UDcowboysfan]

Dont see how a guy with a high ankle sprain can stand on the sidelines like that though it dousnt look that bad. I say if he's not back this week which would surprise me he is for sure back for Arizona.

 

[big dog cowboy]

After the bye. Just a guess. We need him healthy when we revisit the east teams a 2nd time.

 

[Nors]

He'll play

 

[Nors]

I remember the play he gimped out on - that was no "high" ankle sprain. He will play

 

[sago1]

I read an interview with Julius Jones either Sunday or Monday nite re Adams injury and the reporter noted that Jones was limping. If he still limping Sunday/Monday nite which is one week after Eagle game, doubt if he able to play on Sunday. I wouldn't expect him back before Arizona game and Parcells might still hold him out since our bye week upcoming.

 

[Smith22]

Without him, this game could be trouble. I don't want to see the Seahags teeing off all day on the pass.

Sorry to post the same article multiple times but Jerry Jones said he expects both Julius and Dat to play this Sunday.

Adams' injury puts Jones in somber mood

By JEAN-JACQUES TAYLOR and TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News


IRVING – Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones expects running back Julius Jones and linebacker Dat Nguyen to play this week, but he is having a difficult time getting over the loss of Pro Bowl left tackle Flozell Adams.

Adams suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in Sunday's game against the New York Giants and will miss the rest of the season.

[an error occurred while processing this directive]
"I don't know if I can put into words the loss," Jones said. "That was a vulnerable position for us. When you lose a left tackle, you don't replace them."

The Cowboys will try with Torrin Tucker and seven-year veteran Ethan Brooks, who has agreed to terms, according to Jones.

Brooks, 6-6, 330 pounds, made seven starts with Baltimore last season, including two starts at left tackle. He was with the New York Jets during training camp.

But losing Adams, who had made 107 consecutive starts, is a big blow.

"When you get a really top player, a Pro Bowl-type player, and you lose him, you're going to take a hit," Jones said. "And everybody has to deal with it and the consternation that it brings."

Crayton still on active roster: Wide receiver Patrick Crayton had surgery Tuesday on his injured right ankle and is expected to miss six to eight weeks, but the Cowboys will keep him on the active roster for now.

The Cowboys could place Crayton on injured reserve, which would end his season, if the rehab process goes slowly.

Peerless Price is expected to take over Crayton's role as the third receiver.

"There's nothing broken, which is the good news," Crayton's agent Fred Lyles said. "He had some ligament damage, but he doesn't have a high ankle sprain, which is good."

Briefly: The Cowboys worked out three receivers Tuesday – Ahmad Merritt, who performed well in training camp before suffering a foot injury, J.R. Tolver and Carl Kearney. Tolver and Kearney are practice-squad eligible, and one of them could be added today. ... Linebackers Jay Foreman and Terry Pierce also worked out.

i think its better to let him sit out until after the bye week, i mean lets get real here, he wasnt being very productive as it is, i just think he;s in a slump, with mb3 and ATrain we had basically the same production as when JUJO was in there.

same production, didnt the running backs average 2 yards a carry last week. Before JJ went out, he was at least averaging close to 4.

 

[Justis]

Bah, with our pass offense learking they can't afford to put 8 men in the box anymore. Jones will have a good day, or Bledsoe will leave Seattle with a bid to the Pro Bowl.

..So what does that mean for a high ankle sprain..? 6-8 weeks..? More..?
Julius out until maybe after the Bye week..

I've had a high ankle sprain before, bad and mild. It looked like a JJ had a mild to med sprain as he was able to put weight on it after. When I had the bad one, I couldn't put weight on it for a while. About an inch to an inch and a half above the ankle bone is where the pain is, and it's on both sides of the ankle. I was out for about a month. Moving your foot in any direction hurts. The mild sprain is very similar. The only difference is the pain level. It must be how much strain is put on the ligaments and bone, but I wsa able to play the next week (with tape), but since JJ tapes up anyway, this shouldn't be a huge problem. The way he's acting, I say he plays this week.
