I sure hope not, but it's looking more likely every day. If he misses 6 more games, I don't think he'll ever get his legs back and this season will be wasted for him. I really wanted to see Spencer and Ratliff on the field by now.

You're not eligible for PUP if you've practiced at all in camp.

The Dollars And Sense Of The Cowboys Releasing Jay Ratliff
RVING (105.3 THE FAN) – The Cowboys insist they are “not hurrying’’ Jay Ratliff back from the injuries that have kept him off the field for the last eight months. But some observers are impatient, wondering whether there are any financial advantages to releasing the former Pro Bowl defensive lineman.
The short answer? No.
The longer answer? As demonstrated in this project worked on in combination with Lars Hengstler of BloggingTheBoys.com, there are advantages that come into play only after this year.
Ratliff entered the 2013 off-season with a $7 million cap hit. The Cowboys restructured his contract and spread some of that money over the 2013-2017 league years.
As a result, Ratliff’s cap hit dropped to $4.072 million – room that was needed at the time. But the move caused the cost of releasing him early to increase.

how's that contract extension looking right now?
it looked bad at the time it was offered/signed as he had already begun his decline.
This is what happens when you play an undersized guy at NT. Thos ecalling for his move to DE can truly say i told you so imo, this is due to wear and tear.

I will NEVER understand that contract. It's like Dallas needed to undo one of the few smart extensions they had done years before with him. It made NO sense at the time and looks worse by the second.
