Quote:But I don't think him saying "I could have gone back in" is helpful at all, since he didn't, and then couldn't practice, and is still down a week later. He missed essentially all of offseason activities, training camp, pre-season, and now the regular season with evidently the same soft tissue issues. It's gotten a bit silly at this point, and him telling people every week that he feels great and then not practicing or playing is not helping things.

Lots of players with hamstring problems do this. Just look at lesean McCoy. He said he was good to go multiple times and now he's not gonna play until he's 100% which could be a couple weeks. Hamstring injuries are weird where a player sometimes feel like they can play through it at first then when they go out there they can't perform effectively and make the injury worse.
