It’s a huge game and I hope he’s healthy enough to play but the worst thing we can do is rush him back and aggravate the injury even worse. 
 

I don’t expect him to play. 

Yeah, I don’t either. That sucks. He would have to be close to 100% to have them risk it. If it were an ankle or shoulder or something I think he plays. Hammy’s are too tricky.

Too early to know but the stakes are too high for him to sit if he's available to play even on a limited snap count.

 

In fact what I could see happen is Milano does play this week (assuming he can practice at some capacity) even on a limited snap count, then sit next week against the Titans so he has an extended break through the bye week.

 

Bigger issue here though is the questions about his extension and being injury prone which once again is front and center not even a month into the season just like last year.


His extension was pretty reasonably priced, but yes if he constantly has injury issues that of course limits his value. The question in my mind would be how limited would Milano be? If he is so limited that he is going to have to play limited snaps and be possibly less effective and risk a greater injury setback is it not better to just sit him out?

Ouch. that really hurts for KC game. Hammies don't get better in 7 days. sh*t

Not so sure about that. He remained on the sideline..no bench or tent. Pretty obvious they could live without him for the 2nd half, so he was out. I'm thinking this is a tweak, we're seeing precautions, and he plays Sunday night.

He's going to play imo but not a majority of plays.  

 

Snaps will be monitored tho and they'll use him in situations....see how he feels during the game.  

 

I wonder to what extent, if any, he was pulled last week knowing he wasn’t really needed and that we had the Chiefs coming up. Regardless, I hope they play it smart and safe.

I don't know what you guys are looking at. He's moving around fine out there:

Whilst there is always room for a JCVD gif in any post 😀 the movements that Milano is making in that vid are very possible to carry out with a hamstring strain, without experiencing much pain at all.

 

I'm not saying the video confirms he is really struggling with the hamstring, but I would like to see movements where the leg is extended straight out more before being confident he will be able to play on Sunday.

God I hope your right  if there’s one game that we really need him it’s this one !!!

I went to the blue tent, if I remember correctly.

It was some tweet I read on the game thread,

Hamstrings can linger if not rested and treated properly. If you notice right after the drill, Milano walked very gingerly- my guess he does not play against KC. We will find out soon enough.

Having torn and tweaked the hammy a few times...the fact that he is doing that eliminates a tear...or a significant tear because there is no damn way i could do that when I tore mine. Ha

If Milano can't play, it just puts more pressure on the front 4 to get to Kermit the QB.  I was pretty happy with how Klein played, and I think he might even be better against the run, which doesnt help when playing the Chiefs much.  We really need Milano down the stretch and has been stated repeatedly here, hammy injuries tend to take a longer time to heal. 

 

The reality of this game is, if Josh shows up and plays his game, the D doesn't have to be 100%.  If Josh does what he did last year, twice, against KC, it doesn't matter what the D does
