Is there any chance Julius Jones....

A high ankle sprain usually requires surgery or rest of 4-6 months. See Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes last year. It is a tearing of tendons that don't heal quickly. I know no one is saying that now but Lewis and Holmes went for a couple weeks last year with the same thing. Just a thought.

There's always that chance with any serious injury.

 

I added Barber in one league just in case. I think it's more likely to hamper him than require surgery - it is also fairly easy to re-injur a high ankle sprain from what I understand.

 

Ihope he can come back soon - I have him in my IDP league, and while he's not the best player on my team, he is a player I was hoping would be there for me down the stretch.

He'll be back after the bye. The kid is tough.

People need to stop panicking. He will be back after the bye better than ever. Douche MCSuckister only took two weeks to heal from the same injury last year.

Your statement is very comforting. God Bless You.

Real tough, played 11 out of his last 24 ...... just fights right through injuries....plays with the pain

Probably why Parcells has taken shots at his durablility both of his pro seasons.

[Skanker 0]

I think Jones' injury is more serious than they are leading on, just my opinion.

Dude had a broken shoulder blade - that's GOT to hurt man.

 

But you think he should have "played through it"?

It's like a jungle sometimes 
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under 

Broken glass everywhere
People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care 
I can't take the smell, can't take the noise 
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice 
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back 
Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat 
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far 
'cuz a man with a tow truck repossessed my car 

Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge 
I'm trying not to lose my head 
Uh huh ha ha ha 
It's like a jungle sometimes 
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under 

Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window 
Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow 
Crazy lady, livin' in a bag 
Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a ###### hag 
Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango 
A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses 
Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps 
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home 
She went to the city and got social security 
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own 

Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge

My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV 
Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy 
"All My Children" in the daytime, "Dallas" at night 
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight 
The bill collectors, they ring my phone 
and scare my wife when I'm not home 
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation 
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station 
Neon King Kong standin' on my back 
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac 
A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane 
Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane 
I swear I might hijack a plane!

'cuz the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool 
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper 
if I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper 
Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet 
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps 
'cuz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny 
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey 
They pushed that girl in front of the train 
Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again 
Stabbed that man right in his heart 
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start 
I can't walk through the park 'cuz it's crazy after dark 
Keep my hand on my gun 'cuz they got me on the run 
I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw 
Hear them say "You want some more?" 
Livin' on a see-saw 

Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge

A child is born with no state of mind 
Blind to the ways of mankind 
God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too 
Because only God knows what you'll go through 
You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate 
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate 
The places you play and where you stay 
Looks like one great big alleyway 
You'll admire all the number-book takers 
Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers 
Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens 
And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh 
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers 
Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers 
You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool 
But then you wind up droppin' outta high school 
Now you're unemployed, all non-void 
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd 
Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did 
Got sent up for a eight-year bid 
Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag 
Spend the next two years as a undercover ###### 
Bein' used and abused to serve like hell 
'til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell 
It was plain to see that your life was lost 
You was cold and your body swung back and forth 
But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song 
Of how you lived so fast and died so young so...

A high ankle sprain usually requires surgery or rest of 4-6 months. See Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes last year. It is a tearing of tendons that don't heal quickly. I know no one is saying that now but Lewis and Holmes went for a couple weeks last year with the same thing. Just a thought.

He has no tears in the ankle, which was reported the Monday after the injury, when he had his MRI. It is NOT Jones say wether he can play or not, it is the trainers and doctors decision. If they say no, he can't go. Protection of the investment....

 

The kid is tough, and the team is one dimensional when he does not play.

[FantasyKing 4]

I think Jones' injury is more serious than they are leading on, just my opinion.

 

:ph34r:

For what possible reason would they do this? They are already saying that on a weekly basis that he is out, meaning teams can gameplan for him NOT being in there.

[ggroovy17 0]

Even if he comes back he won't be the same. Like I said high ankle sprains take a long time to heal.

 

Prediction: Barber takes over an excels then Julius is battling for his job next year.

I had a high ankle sprain playing JUCO basketball. Hurt like hell. It's bad when you intend to come down flat on your foot and your ankle is the first thing to hit the court after stepping on soeone elses foot. The doctor told me I would have been better off breaking it. I was up for 4 weeks. And didn't come back full strength until after the 5th week sometime. I came back stronger than before my injury. Could actually jump higher. Probably had to do with the rest I received. ANyway, that's my high anke sprain story. Just an FYI on how these work.

[IGotThatGuy 0]

From what I heard Parcells say this week he is not pleased with JJ because of the injuries as has been stated in this thread several times. He has missed 1/2 his games in a short NFL career. When did the NFL not become here today, gone tomorrow? JJ has competition at this position and with the up and down play of the boys Parcells is not going to be sticking his kneck out. If he gets stability at RB from Barber then JJ will be riding pine hard. After all it is Parcells.

The guy broke his shoulder blade last year and missed like 11-12 games. That's not exactly what I'd call an injury that you play through.

 

The high ankle sprain is one you may be able to play through. Two weeks seems to be the minimum amount of time to miss. (See Duece). I'd say there would be a much greater chance of JJ playing this week if it weren't for the Cowboys' bye next week. Sit him one week, get two weeks to heal.

 

IMO Parcells is extremely high on JJ. If you have seen any of his presser's you'd know it to be true as well. Having said that, he may be gaining confidence in M Barber, enough anyway to use him as the primary backup.
