If Duke is inactive, I bet it isn't due to his shoulder How serious could his injury be? After all, he returned to the game last Sunday. My guess is he’s still in a non-contact jersey because the injury is a some sort of bone contusion, slight shoulder sprain or another injury that could be hampered by unnecessary contact (did they ever release the specific issue?) Often nagging issues like these get worse, more painful and/or allow less mobility immediately following the game. This would partially explain why he was able to continue to play right after sustaining he injury but not be healthy practice. They’re probably just playing it safe and letting him heal up, knowing that he can go when it counts.
I think you’ll see him active on Sunday.
After all, I am a doctor ?
