Yep. My buddy (who actually predicted the exact injury in the dez injury thread before it was announced, he's a PT) originally said its a 4-6 week injury.

It has nothing to do with pain, and milk ain't gonna do it. It's a fracture in the front of your knee, load bearing, basically affected by any move you make athletically. Basically, it's a pain in the butt, like a foot sprain.

He's not going to play next weekend unless there's a miracle. PT's also would never tell a guy, in the original diagnosis, that he was going to be ready to play pro sports in 3 weeks. It's going to be up to the CT scan or whatever they do that week.

Pretty lame.

Is it 4-6 or 1-3? That's a pretty big disparity.

It makes sense to sit Dez for three weeks. The Cowboys have a bye after that, so it gives him four weeks to heal up for the last ten games....possibly with Romo as his quarterback.

I'd rather him sit out than him force himself to play and that injury get worse.

You know doctors, there's always a "protocol" which is usually a pretty fail-safe timeline.

Very unlikely he's 'fully healed' in under 3 weeks from injury. But it's really just going to depend on what the scans say. He may risk it too so who knows.

I wouldn't get my hopes up until the Eagles game

He will play Sunday put it in 3 inch bold letters! That's what my barber told me this morning.....very reliable source, hes watched all the Cowboy games on TV this year.

I have a friend of a friend who is the assistant manager at the movie theater, he told me the pop was indeed watered down and the popcorn old.
