With T.O. returning so fast, how does this vouch for Henry's toughness?

TO's not human; I thought everyone knew that.

Geez, we got metahumans, robots, barbarians and all sortsa things playing for the cowboys.

vouch for the toughness of anthony henry?same injury and anthony took basically like 8 weeks to play full time.unless the severity was vastly different between injuries.wow.

Especially if it's BELOW the waist, even the SLIGHTEST of injuries there can feel like eternity for corners.

Look at Lito Shepherd this past season-his knee injury in wk1 was nothing more than your typical 4 wk MCL sprain, but somehow, it LINGERED the ENTIRE season.

Bingo!!!!!!

I don't know why you guys are picking on Henry. He had great numbers this season.

Henry feels T.O.'s pain

Cowboys CB Anthony Henry suffered a high right ankle sprain on Sept. 30 against the Rams. He didn't get back on the field for more than a month, returning in Philadelphia on Nov. 4, and did get back in the starting lineup until the Detroit game on Dec. 30.

So he knows just what Terrell Owens has gone through, with his own high left ankle sprain.

"The pain is aggravating, it’s always gonna hurt, mine’s still hurting me right now," Henry said. "He’s definitely been doing a good job treating his, and coming back and being able to play. It’s definitely frustrating knowing that certain plays, you could’ve made, had you been healthy."

If you compare the injuries of the two, Owens coming back this week would be like if Henry came back for the Vikings injury in October. Even returning when he did, the corner says it's taken a while to get it all back, and he didn't really hit his stride until the middle of December.

But even with the limitations he experienced., Henry thinks Owens will be fine.

"It's everything – pushing off, explosion, vertical speed," Henry said. "But he’s been practicing well, he’s doing stuff I couldn’t do three weeks after mine. He’s much further ahead than I was."

I doubt they had the exact same injury. Ankle sprains vary widely. I sprained mine pretty bad in a high school football game. I could not walk the next two days. It felt as if my foot would just flop off at the ankle. It wasn't just the pain, there was no strength in it. It was the 3rd day before I could put weight on it. I rehabbed and if absolutely needed could have played the following Friday. The coaches held me out, but I came back the next week. A two week injury for me. Sometimes the injury is less severe and sometimes it is even worse. It is not really a question of toughness. Just dumb luck on how bad you get injured.

Henry is made out of glass. Next season he will have another injury that will wipe out half the season.

Ive been thinking that way for the past couple years.
