How fast did Smith recover from his arm?

i was wondering that too, seemed like he returned relatively quickly

I don't even care if he's in for 1 quarter and has to come out. He needs to play some snaps in this game. It would be heartwrenching and hard to even celebrate the win to me without him in it at all.

I'd think it really depends on the type of break that occurred and where on the bone. 

Depends on which bone too- radius or ulna. Hopefully it's a fracture and not both bones. Unfortunately, statistically speaking, it's more common for both bones to break.

Thomas isn't lying when he said he's not missing the superbowl for the world. Whether it's for the whole game or limited snaps, there is no doubt in my mind Rivera is going to find a way to get that man who's gone through SO MUCH adversity some snaps in the biggest game of the year. Knowing TD, he will play the whole game at an elite level with a broken arm.

Also, didn't TO play in the superbowl with a broken foot and went for 100+?

The surgery could have nothing to do with helping to heal the arm.

It very well could be to put a metal plate in there to support the broken arm as much as possible so he can play and will just deal with the pain.

I think this is the answer, plates and screws like Smitty with some "chump proof" padding.

Thomas Davis had one of the best plays last night..

A guy I work with said his mom had surgery this morning, said TD was in the room next to her. She said Luke was with him, those two are pretty tight!

This man is incredible.  I think he will play and he will play VERY well on the big stage, broken arm be damned.

If he plays and we win I'm definitely buying his Super Bowl jersey

Some good posts here.  I agree with those that state he will play, even if it is limited.  Out of respect for him, Ron will make him a starter for the SB.  How long he plays and what he contributes is up to what the doctors do.  I don't think TD will jeopardize his long time health for the SB.  He will play.  How much is still to be seen.

I hope TD can play in SB50, but if he can't play, we will see him in SB51.

TD really needs to start thinking about life after football. This man will have pains on top of pains.

If 3 ACL surgeries didnt slow him down I don't think a broken forearm is going to.  he's still playing at an elite level.
