They just said it. We fans need to understand that we are never part of the internal calculations / discussions concerning player injury / return to practice / playing status, we are and always will be on the outside looking in, one just needs to pay attention to what the severity of the injury is, and the “real life” odds of what a players return to play window likely is. There needs to be an objective thought process when accessing these situations, not the “fairy tale”, gee, he will be at 100% of what he was upon return, it’s comical that folk seem to think like this when in reality it never happens that way.

But the 19th day of the window he'd be good to go? It's that fine of a line? A week of recovery is not that fine a line. Absurd example, but one week for Hamlin went from dead on the field to jumping up and down in an ICU. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the season, there are 3 practices per week plus a walk-through on Saturday, and depending upon this or that, Wednesday may be a walk-thru as well.

They are more than capable of keeping pace with the Bengals… just gotta hope the defense can do just enough which seems to be the case every year. Hey, you don’t need to tell me.

The percentage of that “shot” is quite small, the medical ok to “practice” is to find out if that shot is gonna happen or not, he at present has no/zero medical ok to play at this point.

Rigotz Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Anybody saying they for sure know that he is or isn't playing is an idiot. We have no idea what exact procedure was done or how his body reacted. What we do know is at minimum, McDermott is making our AFC Championship Opponent prepare for Hyde, if we make it there. There is absolutely no reason not to do this, as there are unlimited practice squad call-ups during the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing here? Much better ? In what way. It’s newer. There is a chance of mechanical catastrophic failure. fusion is tried and true. And ever level of the Cspine contributes to ROM. One level fusion takes away 10 degrees. Which no one would notice or feel. I think he’s just practicing / non contact . Team morale. He’s bored, but wants to be around / feel like one of the guys zero chance he’s playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The much invested defense should still be able to hold its own against the likes of Cincy and KC…. More performances like we’ve seen the last two years against KC to end the season would be unacceptable. On top of being REALLY healthy on offense.

Dr.Sack Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I’m of the opinion that defensive players improve. Rousseau, Epenesa, Basham, even Lawson are better players than they were their rookie year, whereas Miller is better but no longer where he was in his prime. We will need prime level play from all 4 to win it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the opponent guessing as long as you can. That's a really good question. Someone referenced NFL regulations I've never heard of in regard to Tua and to Bridgewater - about maybe if you know a player will be out for medical reasons not concealing it? I have no idea. I woulda thought, like you, keep it under your hat as long as you can. As far as timeline, I think it's interesting to listen to Cole Beasley on this: "The first week, I was just trying to control the pace a little bit, trying not to do anything stupid like stumble over my feet or anything; the first week was tough. The second week, started feeling a little better. The third week was when I started feeling more like myself and how it had been." So this is a guy who is not rehabbing an injury, just trying to get back into playing shape; he's saying "took 3 weeks to really start feeling like myself". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
