Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 4872001, member: 12414"] The player also has a say as only they truly know how much pain they are in. Scans and tests can show strains, sprains and tears, but they really are not what is used to determine when the player is ready. The medical team evaluates the visible signs like swelling range of motion. Then the player as they get closer show what they go do pain free. If a player is good at hiding the pain when they run through the drills then conceivably they could fool the training staff and come back sooner. I am certain most of us casual fans have heard the phrase”protect the player from himself” . Th more competitive the more a training staff has to worry about that. AK is a warrior we all know that. But he is also really smart. He knows how important he is to the team. All that combined I trust they will make the right decision both long and short term. [/QUOTE]
