Ratliff improving, making progress; Cowboys still hope he will be back in three weeks
http://sportsblogs.star-telegram.co...till-hope-he-will-be-back-in-three-weeks.html
With defensive end Anthony Spencer sidelined for the season because of microfracture knee surgery, the return of defensive tackle Jay Ratliff is even more vital to the Cowboys' hopes of success in 2013.
Ratliff was placed on injured reserved/designated to return after six weeks at the start of the season because of lingering hamstring and groin injuries. Three weeks are down and Ratliff should be back in three more weeks, possibly in time for the Oct. 20 match up against the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to coach Jason Garrett, Ratliff's rehab is going well and he is on target to return next month, barring a setback.
"You are just trying to get him better," Garrett said. "We made that decision because we wanted give him a full chance to come back off that thing healthy rather every week saying should we put him up or whatever, just giving him a chance to come back and be healthy from that thing. He is halfway through it. We feel like he is making progress and hopefully he will be back here in a few weeks."

exactly.......scripted, rosey response until the day before he's due back in the line up

I believe Ratliff was placed on PUP since he never actually practiced and the Cowboys still have the IR/designated to return option still available for another player.

Jason Garrett said the same thing about Spencer

0 . 0 credibility.

That's what I thought also. You only get one IR/designated to return spot I believe

Good so he can replace that scrub Hayden. That guy sucks.

 

[Corso]

Three weeks are going to pass rosey and then his spine is going to spontaneously combust putting on his pads.

 

[boysfanindc]

color me skeptical, but I hope they are right, can never have too many pass rushers. Especially if he is even 90% of what he was.

 

[Nirvana]

until he is practicing everything said about Rat is to be taken with a grain of salt that says he is returning soon.

I guess none of the reporters around the team bothered to dig when Ratliff was clearly at odds with what was being reported about his "injury". It's been 2 months now and this is still a mystery.

True, but Ratliff is not a willing participant when it comes to the media, not a big talker and I think the reporters are afraid of him.

He better return ready to rock and roll or this place will be all over him. I mean it will get UGLY big time. It will make the beating Spencer is getting look like childs play.
