Drew Brees, Tre'Quan Smith, Will Clapp- Out.
Sheldon Rankins- Questionable.

Rankins playing will be awesome. It's over for Cowboys running game. Dak is going to have a tough night

 

[JustaSharkie]

Sheldon - Questionable.... oh my.

 

[superchuck500]

Was he FP?

 

[jasonsw]

Was he FP?

believe L.P the last few weeks

believe L.P the last few weeks

Yeah. Until he’s FP, i think any talk of playing is premature.

Where y'at? Let's pray that Big Wiggle (Rankins) doesn't enter the game unless he's ready.

At this point, I trust the trainers and coaching staff to make the right decision.

They're playing with fire if they bring Rankins back too soon.

A second injury will set him back tremendously and in all probability end his career.

Call me crazy but I don't want Rankins to play. Straight up. I know the medical staff and the coaches know far better and all that but he is so important to what we do up front, I just want to put him in bubble wrap and wait.

I think they error on the side of caution and sit him for another week. We need the big fella but we need him at his best.

I don't see the difference between 11 full practices with NFL athletes with no handicap and some snaps during a regular game. They'd know if he's a step behind. This hasn't been rushed at any point of the process. I like some snaps. Not all game but definitely part of the rotation.

I need sheldon Rankins to be healthy.

Practices are not as intense, are often not full-speed, and don't involve playing all the way through a play with maximum force. It's war in the trenches in a real game; practice is just drills for the war.

I trust they won’t rush Rankins, they had Okafor come back from his last year with the same medical staff. If they didn’t think he was close they’d have IR’d him.

Side note: we’re 12-1 with this officiating crew since ‘06? Where have they been?!?

IMO not having Tre Smith hurts a little. He looked solid vs the Rams and was building confidence in his YAC. I hope that ankle issue isn't something that will keep him out of the lineup long term.

Those ankle injuries can be tricky though.

Agree.

We really need Ginn to ball out.
