A good friend of ours (played at Georgia & later with the Giants) was telling us some horror stories about his TT. So many ligaments involved, so many moving parts, then boom it rears it's ugly head again.

I'd be shocked to see Michael on the field anytime soon in 2022.
There are three grades of turf toe injury. Grade one has a short 2-3 week turnaround. Grade two is 4-6 weeks. Neither of these require surgery. Grade three requires surgery and is the one that can end a season unless is occurs early. The latter is what Penning had and he's supposed getting close to being able to begin practice.

If Thomas had anything more severe than grade two he would have been placed on IR. I'd be shocked if he doesn't return within the next couple of weeks.


Dunnells is saying that he thinks Thomas may even return to practice this week. We'll see. It is still well within the timeframe for recovery.

So Predictable!!

"THE GUIDO SHUFFLE"

1. Chastise posters for what they write because you don't agree.

REMEMBER?

"...... Also, a large percentage are gullible in what they read is FACT ... sadly."

2. Turn around and do exactly what you tell others not to do.

"Not shocked at all." Should I be?" (SEE #3 )

3. DENY, DENY, DENY.

You are one very odd individual.

I was not shocked for a couple of reasons. First, after 65 years on this planet nothing truly shocks me anymore, regardless of using the literary phrase. Second, the fact that they finally DID place him on IR while sharing the fact that he had dislocated the toe instead of suffering a more mild injury implied earlier changed the parameters and made the decision clearer.
