If Linder isn't playing I have to question the "illness" label for whatever his ailment is. Normal illnesses don't last more than a month. Fournette might play, he'll have had three weeks since he was injured, but if he can't go I think the Jaguars can still win against the Bengals if Linder can go. I think Linder is the most important guy to have back in the starting lineup.

I can guarantee that Appendicitis and the accompanying required surgery is at least that length of a down time. I have zero clue as to what he has it's just a example of one of many illnesses that could keep someone down that long. To question it and place the word illness in "Quotations" makes you sound like you are inferring that someone is trying to pull something over on you?

On topic, you are correct. He is important. I hope they are all back and 100%. The fact that the clots could hang with them is a pretty good indication that they are not that good though.

My point was simply that I don't consider medical issues that require invasive treatment "illness" the way I consider the flu illness.

If Marrone had said he has a non football related medical issue then I'd have been expecting a guy to miss a month or more possibly. Saying they have an illness made me expect he'd miss a week or two at the most.

Not that it particularly matters, just taking about my perception of Marrone's truthfulness.
