That's what Dierdork said? First I'd heard he could be back that soon.
EJ should play next week?

Originally posted by IlluminatusUIUC View PostI wouldn't put EJ in this week. We rushed him back from a knee injury once already this year. Season's over, let him heal.
Did they rush him back? If he was 100% healthy then they didn't. If he's healed play him. He's not going to heal anymore than 100%. If he's 99% let him sit another week.

Originally posted by IlluminatusUIUC View PostYes, they did rush him back. Remember how close we came to having Tuel as our opening day starter?
That hit he took in Cleveland would've been an injury no matter what.

Originally posted by Victor7 View PostTrue, but its not like he got hurt in that game. He got hurt 5 games later so I don't think it had any effect whatsoever.

And I'm not even saying that was the wrong call at the time. We were staring down the barrel of "Jeff Tuel, Opening Day Starter." Rushing Manuel back to avoid that was a worthwhile risk IMO.
Now, however, we are all but eliminated from the playoffs. Cash it in for at least another week, maybe even through the bye.

Originally posted by IlluminatusUIUC View PostYou don't know that. Injuries that don't fully heal can linger and re-aggravate themselves later. It's entirely possible that Manuel's knee holds up to the hit in Cleveland if he hadn't been playing pro football on it for the previous month.

He's starting this week & it's a good thing.

Originally posted by Albany,n.y. View PostThe knee he injured in Cleveland was on the other leg than the one injured in pre-season. So there goes the re-aggravation premise.
