News: PFT: Odell Beckham on playing Sunday: I wouldn’t count it out

[Nightman]

That is one guy I won't miss

Last year game 2 vs NY I said just contain OBJ and we win .....we did for most of the game and then let him loose for a huge TD

Let our young DBs get some experience before we face them again

 

[JBS]

He got up and gingerly walked away weeks ago.

He's fine.

You really are lost in all of this

What he did right after the hit means nothing..

He's not playing on Sunday

lol

 

[xvendettax914]

Well. He didn't practice today for what it's worth.

 

[theebs]

I won't believe he is not playing until I see him standing on the sidelines sunday night.

 

[Real1st]

If he couldn't practice by Thursday. Hes not playing. He's not ready to play on that high ankle sprain.

 

[JoeKing]

I drafted Odell in my fantasy league but just in case he don't play, I ended up drafting Brandon Marshall too. I hate having two giants on my team but I had to have a handcuff in case he isn't active.

 

[JBS]

lol

I got in a major car accident..ejected from the vehicle..got up and walked away ..told all the paramedics I was fine..didn't even need to go to the hospital..they took me anyway

I couldn't walk for almost a month starting the next day..luckily that's all that was wrong w me

What happens immediately after an injury has no bearing on the severity..adrenaline goes a long way

Medically speaking, I would be very surprised if he plays Sunday. If he does it will be as a decoy. He damaged the interosseus ligaments between the tibia and fibula and that's a minimum 4 week healing process before the types of stress a football player places on those ligaments can be comfortably withstood.

In other words, if he plays he won't be Odelll Beckham. He'll be just a guy in pads getting in a light workout.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

He then collapsed in the tunnel on the way to the locker room...I think he's hurt worse than he'd let on. He walked off gingerly to try and look tough, as football players always try to do.

He fell down once he saw cameras on him. He's a phony, I'm sure he was shook about almost being hurt during a contract year, that's about it

Odell Beckham on playing Sunday: I wouldn’t count it out

“I wouldn’t count it out,” Beckham said, “and my heart’s just not going to make this easy. So I can say it’s a day-to-day thing. I’m really trying to get better. It’s been two weeks. I’m itching but just patience and trusting.”

Beckham said he has done some running “here and there” and offered that his ankle feels better every day. But doctors have yet to clear him to return to the field.

“When they clear you, they’ll clear you to play,” Beckham said. “It sucks, but it’s a day-to-day thing. You try and get better each and every day. I’ve been rehabbing an endless amount of hours, in treatment, etc., just trying to get it right.”

I may be in the minority, but I want Odell to play and to play well. That way when the Cowboys still beat them like they stole something, they won't have any excuses to point to. But that's just me...

just saw a tweet. 3 times since 2015 he did not practice the entire week....all three times he played on sunday.

i think he plays

He will probably be timid and hurt the team in the process. He hasnt practiced in 3 weeks.

Logic and facts have no bearing on Catch. He goes 100% by what he feels. He feels OBJ will play and that is that.

No point in arguing it or taking him seriously.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Maybe he plays but unlikely he's near 100%.

That type of thing is completely meaningless to me. If they don't have that excuse then they will come up with another one. Giants, Eagles, and Commanders fans as well as the ESPN types are never going to give us credit.

It has zero effect on the outcome of the following games. If anything it will give the players more bulletin board material.

If OBJ doesn't play then they are not going to be able to score points. I will take victory over pride every time.

I know this.

Ive hurt my ankle and didn't feel it until the next day.

It's been almost 3 weeks since Beckham was hit. He's fine.

Oh excuse me but how else are we supposed to measure this?

I have 1 example that DBOY just posted that 3 times he has not practiced and played all 3 times.

How are you quantifying it? Feeling?

That he is not doing any cutting in his rehab work.

It helps to show how those previous situations are similar to this one in terms of injury and rehab.
