Unless he aggravates injury they want him to play again this season
Oh I think so too but I think the plan was for him to play last week and he couldn't. now he's not going to play this week either.
So from a health standpoint you start to wonder what would be the point of playing him this year? If he's healthy yeah, but if he's not why risk making it worse. But the problem is he REALLY needed to prove to the team he could be counted on this year and unfortunately he hasn't been able to be counted on.
I was all for drafting him and I think he can be a very good NFL RB, but he has to be able to play.
It's a weird situation remember he played for more than a full quarter after he hurt the knee before he told them it was hurt. So it's not that he has no tolerance for pain he clearly does but it has to be the knee was worse than they thought, or he did something else because meniscus isn't supposed to take this long. He got hurt Sep 25, he had surgery I think 2 days later. So he's on 9-10 weeks now.
Nobody wants to see him play more than I do but at this point my guess is he won't play this year. I hope to be wrong
