Oh baby!!! Now he has to catch up to the rest of the D. Wonder how hard it was for him to not participate in the Patriots dismantling. He'll be ready for some payback against the Ravens.

Good we needed that with the uncertainty about Woodley. If Woodley is out do we start Timmons in Woodley's spot or do we start Carter there and move Timmons back inside? I think Carter did some good things in the last game, got in on some pressures. Will have to wait for news on Woodley.

Saw the doctor today. Looks like I won't be playing this weekend but at least I'm cleared for practice. Worst case scenario I'll be back after the bye for sure.

Do we have any OLBs on the practice squad? If not, and if Harrison, Woodley, and Worilds all cant play then we would have to sign someone.

Seriously, you don't want to mess around with your eyes. I know Harrison is probably dying to play, but if the docs say no, there's a reason.

This isnt good if Woodley cant go full force. That strech run system will be a problem if Rice gets an outside run play. I expect the Ravens to pound the rock and wear our our front 7.

I shattered my left orbital bone in a 25' fall when I was 14. Had to have surgery to put all the litle pieces back. I was lucky it didn't affect my vision. The bone around there is very thin.

As much as I'd love to have James back for this game, I was very nervous when I first read qbout him playing this week. I work in ophthalmalogy and it's just not worth the risk to come back to soon from something like this.
we need hi for the ............playoffs.

Damn, well get healthy Deebo. If we keep playing the way we've been playing, it wont even matter if harrison is playing or not.

Hope Woodley is good to go. Farrior is prob out another week. Worilds is still out. So we have Timmons, Foote, Carter and Slyvester. Ivy and ? as backups.

wow i didnt even realize he hasnt been practicing. I assumed he did since most practices are in shorts now. Has he been lifting and stuff, anybody know?

to be honest with all of you, he is very lucky to be able to play a down of football again.
If he had had a retinal tear or detachment with the orbital fracture, his career may have been over. So however long the doctors hold him out, it's for his own wellbeing.

From what I read the other day, one of the biggest concerns for him is getting dirt/bacteria in the eye and causing a major infection. He can probably practice in shorts and run/lift, but can't risk playing.

Once an incision heals , the body has it's own barrier against bacteria. We do invasive eye procedures all the time (ie: cataract surgery) and antiobiotics are only used for 7 days. There's no need after the wound is naturally sealed. It's the jarring and the impact on the eye that's the issue now. The fracture needs to be healed before he can practice or play with contact to protect the globe of the eye. Retinal detachments are sight threatening. Everytime I see him hit or get hit, I'm going to cringe and hold my breath.
We see people all the time in our office with orbital fractures. We dilate the eye to check for tears and detachments before our specialist (ocular plastics and reconstruction surgeon) does the orbital fracture repair.
When this happened, I honestly didn't expect to see him on the field until after the bye, so this doesn't surprise me at all that he's only been cleared to practice.
Most of the fractures we see are the result of bar fights. :lol:

just saw it on NFL.com. Shit! Time to step up Sylvester!
Keyaron Fox would be handy right now. Think we could trade Sweed for him tonight?

Future HOFer Sweed? We'd need at least 6 1st round picks for him.
