I will say this, playing and playing effectively are two entirely different things. I mean the practice is one thing but NFL game-level is a different monster.

Philly radio also said he was doubtful. They know more than they are letting on. This whole situation is fishy. I don’t know who to trust. Dak is questionable to play, but is likely a game time decision. It’d be stupid to tell the Eagles that Dak isn’t playing. They have to prepare for Dak and Cooper Rush now.

Here's a new nightmare scenario for everyone.

Dak doesn't play, we lose and miss the playoffs, and Garrett gets an extension because his starting QB was injured.

Likely? No. Possible? Yes

I can hear Garrett now, "I like how Dak kept the fight alive even though he couldn't go, and we almost made the playoffs! I'm proud to announce Jerry and I have agreed to a great groundbreaking contract that keeps me here through 2030".

He hasn't practice yet ......sounds like this could be one those game-time decisions. Hell, even if it wasn't they'll probably make one now to keep the Eagles in suspense (lol).

IDK man .......what's the standard of "ok"
He will be able to make short and intermediate throws. I think we planned on running on them anyways. If he can’t go then Rush will take it down field. Either way our O-Line will have to play well. And these WR are gonna have to get open. I expect to see Jarwin have a good game.

I don’t think you guys realize the extent of this injury. He may not come back the same, especially if it turns out to be his rotator cuff. Did you guys see what happened to Cam Newton after his shoulder injury? Cam was always “questionable” and everyone said “he’s a warrior, he’ll play.” And he never played in the latter half of that season....Rapaport is usually right when it comes to stuff like this.

We’re playing with fire here.

He is getting what’s being told to him by the team. MRI was good. Looks like a sprained AC. Sore for a week. Likely a injection before the game but he don’t need to be throwing the ball 40 times in the game. Make the plays when needed and hand it off.

OMG relax lol. Its a sprained AC joint. No need for surgery. Why do you always go to the worst case scenario first?

Lol a sprained AC joint and a torn labrum are two completely different things, doc.

And Cam Newton, as great as a player as he once was, never came close to rivaling Dak's physical or mental toughness. When was the last time you saw Dak with a towel on his head, pouting on the sidelines and not communicating with team mates or coaching staff?

Everyone is making it seem that way. Doubtful? Rapaport implying he might not play? Dr. Chao saying his injury may be different than what is being reported? Way too many questions here. When speculation like that rises, there are many scenarios that can take place.

Have you done any research on Chao? At all? Have you seen how the media works? These same idiots were saying Zeke wouldnt hold out. Dr. Chao has been wrong about pretty much everything he has ever said on his twitter feed since being fired by the Chargers. This is the same guy that staked his reputation on Jaylon Smith never playing football again without a brace. Stop buying into the media my friend. Dak is fine. Maybe not at 100 percent but its week 16. No one is. Rappaport also said that Dez bryant was in the infamous wal mart video that was never released nor corroborated by anyone. These guys just want to be "FIRST" so most of the time they throw stuff until it sticks.
