Report: Nerve has begun to regenerate in knee of Jaylon Smith **merged**

[waldoputty]

Should I be excited now? Is it finally time?

From all the smoke there is usually fire.
It seems he can probably lead a normal life.
Will he be the same athlete?
Well, indications are that the recovery is a good one.
100%? you need to wait till he plays on the field.

Werent the nerves regenerated a while ago?

A while back I watched the youtube vids on him rushing the passer in college. Kinda wow.

So it's quite possible that we drafted the best QB, RB and LB of this year's draft.

Nice

Then again, we also arguably drafted or obtained the best DE, OG and S of last year's draft.

Karma owes us, right?

We got what amounts to three top 5 picks in one draft.

We got what amounts to three top 5 picks in one draft.

There's a big gap between 'nerve firing' and 'back to his old self' still to overcome.

Sounds promising, though.

True, I got a funny feeling that Dak, Zeke and Jaylon will pan out a little better than Gregory. To think in the last 2 drafts we got a franchise QB, RB, S,LB and OG is amazing. I think it is all the bad Karma we got from drafting the last 20 years the football Gods decided to throw us some love.

A lot of folks have to be gritting there teeth over that possibility

Not sure if this particularly has been posted yet, if so move as needed.

Report: Nerve has begun to regenerate in knee of Jaylon Smith
Things just reportedly took a monumental turn for the positive when it comes to Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith.

The rookie has been battling to return to football after an injury suffered in January that tore both his ACL and MCL, leaving nerve damage behind. Originally predicted by many to not see the field until 2017, if then, it's being reported by former Cowboys VP of Player Personnel Gil Brandt that the nerve in Smith's knee has already begun to regenerate.

I feel like this website read my post earlier and made an article about it.

 

[Trouty]

We deserve this. We so deserve this after the last 20 years. This is America's Team. We are supposed to be great. We are on the verge of greatness, folks.

This is awesome.

I would really like clarification. Regenerate sounds a lot like regrow...and it had grown 2-3 inches back in april. I feel like there would have been a lot more to this if it had fired. This seems like "not news" to me. Im not a doctor though so this is just inference.

I'm so pumped about this... Man I love all the young talent they have found. I'm so excited about the culture of this team and the guys leading it. I smile when I see Zeke with Romo's kids, or getting praise from Emmitt or TD. I love hearing things like Witten saying he loves that kid.

Then there is Dak. I love Romo I'm a big fan. Not just on the field but off as I believe he is one of the good guys. But Dak gets me in the feels with how he carries himself and the love that he displays for his mama. Watching how he comforted Dez when his dad died was a big deal to me. I like this kid a lot, I like what he's about. He's another one of those good guys.

I don't know how this team got this blessed, but they've got 3 high character guys in Jaylon, Zeke and especially Dak. Keep making us proud boys, because it's been a lot of fun to watch from my couch.

This just makes it more confusing. It was supposed to be regenerating all along. Maybe this is why they have been so quiet. What has it been doing for the past 9 months if it wasn't regenerating? The nerve should have finished growing the full 6 inches a month ago. If it just started growing, that's not really good news. That's way behind schedule and could mean it never gets right. Like I said, this is totally confusing. Its supposed to be firing by now, not just starting to grow. That would mean 6-9 months of growing to go, waiting for it to fire, and then who knows how much rehab. That could be well into next season.

they wouldn't have activated him if it wasn't well along. I'm guessing it regenerated enough a couple months ago to where he could rehab. Activating him will now allow him to participate in team activities and give them a few weeks to see if he's able to practice, etc. Just my guess as the info released is limited and I agree, confusing.
