[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1069411, member: 18006"] Thanks a lot, guy, I appreciate it. It means a lot to me. And no, I didn't take any offense at all - especially not if it's coming from you. The problem is, that 10-12 week timeline assumes he is not putting any stress on the bone - the clock doesn't start ticking until normal treatment actually begins, and that treatment includes complete rest of the injured area. You just don't play "through" a Jones fracture; you can theoretically play [I]with [/I]one, but the entire time you're doing that, it is getting worse instead of better. I did a lot of googling, and I was unable to find a single example of an NFL player successfully playing "through"a Jones fracture. I'm not going to keep banging away at the same tiresome drum like some demented Energizer bunny, but I just don't think this is going to end well. IMO, the greatest likleihood is that he's going to have an abbreviated season, and that most likely he's going to be off the field from sometime in September to maybe mid-December. We'll get him back for the stretch run and the playoffs. And I don't think for a minute that the Packer staff "thinks he has a legit chance of playing through it and managing it." The closest I was able to find was when a reporter asked Lafleur if he thought it was going to work out, and he said "well, I hope so." On a scale of 1-10, that's about a 2. But like I said elsewhere, they don't stand to lose much. If he can't do it, we only lose 2-3 weeks. We'll know pretty quickly which direction it's going; like, probably early next week. If it goes bad against Detroit, Heath gets his chance to step up, and we'll see what [I]he [/I]has to offer. It's probably the deepest position on the entire roster. [/QUOTE]
