Quote:He'd be able to get himself in football shape on his own. I still don't know that a couple extra weeks of practice is really worth that spot. It's not like he's a rookie.

Yeah you don't know that's why you're not the coach. I'm sure all the coaches got together with the doctors and discussed this thoroughly and this was the best outcome. They know a lot more details about this than any of us so us questioning them is a little silly. Like if they thought he could be back before he would be allowed back if he was on IR then that's probably why they decided this. Plus they can have him practice and see how he's coming along instead of being in the dark.
