njbuff Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 So, apparently his hammy didn't fall off. interesting.

If the medical staff determines that he can play Sunday that means they have also determined that the likelihood of re-injury is minimal. In other words, if he’s good to go, he’s good to go. 1 1
123719bwiqrb Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 I ate some bacon as an offering to the HAMstring gods, and low and behold, Singletary's HAMstring is getting better. Must be the bacon. Truth be told, I'd eat bacon even if my new favorite RB wasn't dinged up.
Big C Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 OK does anyone know Singletary's status for week 5? 1

Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 The only way to know if he can play, if he says it feels fine, is to play him. But hamstrings, unless fully healed (you don't really know if they are), can and do go out in an instant. I should know after multiple experiences after feeling absolutely fine. Caution should thus be the byword. Keep him out until after the bye week. 1

Singletary was listed as a limited participant Thursday as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury suffered against the Giants.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 After practice, coach Sean McDermott said only Kroft and linebacker Corey Thompson, who had surgery this week, are out. He said evaluations continue on availability, but noted that Singletary and Felciano had good days. 2

badassgixxer05 Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 This is our biggest game of the regular season. If he is given a clean bill of health by the Drs then by all means the guy must play! Games after the bye: Miami, Philly, and skins. Do we really need him for any of those games if he does happen to aggravate it this game? Miami we could beat with me running the ball and those next are 2 nfc games. Play the guy now and beat NE! 3 1

I think SC actually has a point.....nobody wants him out.....I just dont want to be in week 10 eyeing a playoff spot and one of our playmakers not practicing cuz of a lingering hamstring. I think Devin is going to be a very good RB in this league

The medical staff lets players play and there are plenty of reinjuries that happen.

Yes, they let them play if they have determined that the chance of re-injury is minimal. I would wager that their opinions are far more right than wrong. Don’t take James Woods version of a doctor on “any given Sunday” too literally.

I don’t think your anecdotal evidence plays into this. Like I said in a previous post. If the medical staff cleared him to play that absolutely means they have also assessed that the likelihood of re-injury is minimal. I get your point. But given all the issues athletes have had by following questionable medical advice from the team doctor, I'd get at least a second opinion. But by this time in the season, nobody is really 100%---not those that play a lot, anyway. But yes. If the player is confident in his health, and has multiple medical opinions to back it, then he probably should play. If there is a question/disagreement/on-the-fence evaluation, I'd keep him out.

How do we know that he hasn’t had a second opinion? I really don’t think they would put them out there if there was anything less than a minimal chance of re-injury. I hope I’m wrong

The problem all too often all they can do is guess at how it will respond under heavy stress. And when you can go to 3 different doctors snd get 3 different opinions only one can be right...

Iamkrgr Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 I'm hoping that Feliciano is healthy. He's been a big difference maker for our oline. Nice to see singletary out there.
