Beason did not practice today

[blackcatgrowl]

He's a Beast, and this is football.

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

Depends on the injury and what it is you are trying to do.

He had screws inserted into his calcaneus bone. That's a major event for a bone.

Beason is an amazing athlete... but the human body has limits for all people. And he uses his bone for high impact activities.

Healing takes time. If you push it, often the result is taking more time or complicating the injury. Lets be realistic here... would you rather he miss 2 games now, or 4 to 6 games later?

to me it sounds like Beason is on the slow road to recovering......and shouldn't start week 1. That is rushing it.

as far as the talk of him starting......why wouldn't you say that? Cards likely gameplan all week and if they knew 100% they had Connor to face....it does impact there attack.

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

If he gets re-injured we are fuged.

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

No, he cleared that up in an interview. They thought it was achilles pain, but it turned out to be a bone bruise, and he had surgery to insert screws into the bone to support it.

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

100% agree.

I would sit him until he is 100% healthy

[TruCatzFan]

I heard ^He borrowed TO's sleep chamber...

[jtnc]

Knowing Beason, he's convincing the training staff he's alright.

Rivera said he was sore this morning but expects him to still play on Sunday.

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

The last update I read a bout the injury was that it wasn't the heel, it was a bone in his foot and they put a screw in it. That's what bothers me about his injury... Feet injuries are amongst the worst injuries any athlete can endure... Without a foundation, you have nothing to stand on, literally...

I'm really worried about how this thing progresses and I don't think he'll be the same Beason until it is fully healed.

I am sure he is sore from contact and hitting.

When you go a couple months without hitting, and then start all the sudden your neck and shoulders get sore, I am sure this is part of it.
