A sprain is the stretching or tearing of a ligament...

So they MRI'd him to see if there was any tearing....  

Why risk it?  Sit him.  Give him 10 days to heal...  New Orleans on October 19th isn't the Superbowl.

Just let him have a 10 day healing period and let's see how our back ups can play...

I remember back in 2007, Garrard went down for a few games...  Our D and our offense held it together.  And that was with Jack Del Rio as the HC.  We have Doug Pederson now.  I'm sure we can get Bethard or the other kid (forgot his name) to be servicable.

Hell, Pederson made limp (bleep) nick a SB winning QB.  Why are we risking our Franchise QB on a game that to be honest, isn't really that big a deal.

Edit:  I don't know if the word I was using is banned and slipped the auto-Mod.  But I'm not taking any chances and "bleeped" the word myself.

It does?  Perhaps you've heard of the word precautionary?

Players jam up stuff all the time.  Hell Lawrence got blown up and twisted around at least 1 time per game for this entire season....  This is the one they MRI'd...  

So yeah, they are being precautionary now...  You know why??  Cuz it was a significant injury!!!  

You don't MRI every twist or strain.  There's a reason they MRI'd this one.  Let him heal, man.  Why play him Thursday night?  

You think beating the Saints in N.O. is must win?  Cuz it isn't.
