View Full Version : Shaq Lawson on schedule to practice Week 7
According to Doug Whaley, the Bills medical staff believes Lawson will be ready to practice as soon as he's eligible. That would be after the Bills host the 49ers in week 6. It doesn't mean he'll play right away, but it sounds like his rehab and everything is going well. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't actually play until after the bye week, but we should see him on the field this year for the second half of the season.
“He’s on schedule,” said Whaley. “We just had a meeting yesterday so after the six weeks if there are no setbacks he’ll be able to start practicing and we’ll see where it goes after that. But everything we’ve heard from the medical staff is that he’s ready and raring to go.”

That's good news...would like to see what we have in him for a few games this season but I wouldn't bring him back until he's 100% or damn close.

Yeah, bringing him back too soon seems too typically Billsy.

Lots of if's here BUT-
If we can beat the Patriots, we should be better with Henderson and Dareus back, and our next 3 games are relatively easy. The 3 games after that are brutal. If we can go 2-1 then pull off 1 upset in the brutal NE/Sea/Cincy stretch, we'd be 4-4 at Thanksgiving. Not great odds but it's our only shot at playoffs.

I have a weird feeling about this season. There is such an utter lack of confidence and hope in the fan base that I think it just might be the year that we somehow wander our way into the playoffs. Which of course succeeds in saving Rex's job until we go 7-9 again next year.

Yes, it's very important that the fan base takes it one game at a time so as not to get ahead of themselves.

whaley got it right with Lawson the first time and told us he didn't need surgery. let's wait and see where he is come week 7. it will depend on how in jeopardy rex's job is. for his surgery and the rehab required, to regain his strength to 100%, he should come back next year. there is no way he should be playing this season. if he does, we'll see a largely ineffective pass rusher and a guy who is going to be run on.

With way Alexander has played Lawson might just be a situational pass rusher this season.

Lawson will not see the field anytime soon. His agent is not going to let him re-injure his shoulder. Especially on a team that isn't going to the playoffs.

Since when does somebody's agent have any say on whether a player plays or not?
If the doctors clear him, he'll play.

I know there are conflicting reports on when Lawson will be back but I can tell you that he will not be playing this year. I talked to two friends close to the situation and he's literally working on swinging his arm 6 inches back and forth right now. He'll be lucky to be lifting in November.
Kind of disappointed to say the least.

Getting contract info from them is something entirely different. Attempting to hold him out when he's been cleared by the doctors and the Bills aren't even close to being out of the playoff hunt (they stand a very real chance of being 3-3 after game 6) won't fly.

As per the PUP list rules, he's eligible to being practicing after game 6, which is in 2-1/2 weeks.

If he's got no pain anymore and the surgeon (who has every reason not to rush him back too quickly) says he's good to go, then there's no reason to hold him back. They'll start him off slowly and increase his workload as tolerated.

Different types of injury. Sammy's was an injury known to linger if it wasn't given enough time to heal. I was not surprised when I heard he was still having pain and that he's going on IR.

Granted, but same theory. Any injury can linger or get worse if not given enough time to heal, and football is a pretty unforgiving contact sport.

I'm not advocating hurrying him back. Again if his doctor clears him, he should be good to go. If he has pain or mobility issues, then they should shut him down.

I can't say anything. Part of the reason I'm escared for Lawson is that I'm having a woeful season as a fan. I usually go about 70/30 right vs. wrong but virtually everything I've said this season has been wrong. Ryan's defense is solved, Taylor will get hurt in the 1st 4 games, Shady is washed up, Felton is useless and wee Gronkowski will be a steal, was stupid firing Roman, O-line will be terrible, Listenbee will be all over the place, O'Leary will get cut, Gay will be back again, can't beat the Cardinals, can't beat the Pats at Gillette, Lynn was a dumb promotion, Wildcat Lee will be a disaster as a passing game influence, Ragland will be awesome this year, and Blanton will turn into Jim Leonhard after Aaron Williams goes down early.
I was right about Zach Brown and Douzable being value pickups but that pales in comparison with my terrible other assertions.
If I say Shaq will be fine, he'll get hurt, rushed back too soon.
If I say he needs more time to heal, he's healthy as he'll ever be.
So I'm just going to say, ok.

Somehow you should be able to turn this into a killing at Vegas.
Personally, I think you should say there's absolutely no way in hell the Bills go to the Super bowl this year and no way they win it, absolutely certain.
But naturally, the sports gods know what you really think, whatever it is, and the minute you put a bet down in Vegas, things would go the other way just to screw with you.
Ah, it's a malevolent universe, it is. Just look at the Pats*** and Dan Brown novels selling millions, the wicked thrive . . .
