packfanfb Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Not that my opinion matters, but I'll say it again...if Jaire sits out over a "rolled ankle" from a walk through that happened 4 days ago, I can honestly say that will be the first time in my life ever hearing of a player missing a game because of that. I think @Packerraymondmentioned it before, I've seen HS players roll an ankle, tape it up and play on the same day. It's absolutely crazy to think that could keep an NFL player out of a playoff game four days after it happened, even with our overly conservative medical staff.

I’m sure there’s different levels of severity. If Jaire can play, he will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can wait until football season is over though. The Godzilla show is another that I had zero expectations for, but has been plenty watchable.

While I agree with the overall intention of your post, I do have one point of contention. The bolded part is actually when the best chance of returning to play happens. Your adrenalin is flowing, and the swelling hasn't set in yet. I know, I've done it. It was a worse sprain than I thought, but the rest of the game, it was very tolerable. I'll say if Jaire doesn't play, it's a player decision, not a staff one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's absolutely crazy is fans with no actual knowledge of the injury making statements like this one. As if JA would be held out for any reason beyond not being able to play effectively on the ankle. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtcheezwiz Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Love has ice in veins. He’s completely picked apart the defense in the last two games, really hope that continues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everyone here hopes for the same, except the few Rodgers sycophants who are vested in his failure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on reports, the Lions appear ready to let LaPorta go today a week after being carted to the locker room with a hyperextended knee and bone bruise. He needs to wear a OL brace to even move around but the word is he's playing. Now maybe that's dumb on Detroit's part but in playoff time, I commend the decision being left to the player. If Watson and Ja say they can go, let them go. I still think that will end up being the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaPorta won't be asked to cover CeeDee Lamb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
