We're expected to meet with Ron Rivera soon, so we'll get an update on Beason and this year's team captains.

Ron Rivera said Jon Beason's foot was a little sore so they held him out, but still expects him to play Sunday.

that doesn't sound good.

[D34Williams]

he'll play

[Gipetto]

How does it not sound good? we don't know why he didn't practice, it could be personel reason or simply rest. Beason still will play so get your hand of the panic button and sit back on your couch.

[Ruff]

Meh. Save him for game time.

A day after practcing for the first time on a limited basis he is now back to not practicing......that doesn't sound good in terms of playing Sun.

No panic button being pressed. You don't miss all preseason, practice one day on a limited basis and then go play football in week 1.

I really hope our training staff isn't rushing his return.

just resting, no need to stress the foot.

[Cat'sGrowl]

I agree with the decision if they are trying to get him to play Sunday.

LP yesterday, rest today, LP practice tommorow, and then limited snaps Sunday.

I've said it another post... heel injuries are not usually something you just bounce back from in a few weeks. I was really surprised he practiced the other day, and concerned. If he pushes his recovery, he could cost himself more time in aggravating the injury/surgery.

Regarding recovery of heel surgery:

Immediately after either operator, a plaster cast may or may not be used to support and immobilize the foot for two to three weeks. Crutches may be helpful for greater comfort and mobility while the foot heals.

When the cast has been removed, three to four weeks of physical therapy will speed healing and reduce swelling. Provided there are no complications, recovery is usually complete in six to eight weeks.

Six to eight weeks. He had surgery 3-4 weeks ago... I just don't see how he can be ready to go so soon.

no need to get in football shape or practice the gameplan either?

Beason ain't superman....rules for mortal NFL players also apply to him.

You don't miss all preseason w/ an injury and walkthrough one day of practice.....and then suit up and start.

He's a Beast, and this is football.

Coming back from an six week injury two weeks early isn't exactly irregular.

Also, he has an Achilles' problem, not so much a heel problem.

Usually if you don't practice on Thursday and Friday, you aren't going to be playing.
