They had to by today. Or call him done for the season.

Well that changes my line of thinking then.

Being that they must give him a try you never know what kind of shape he is in. Although I read a month or so ago he was in 'football' shape but that's speculative. I linked the article in a post about it a while back and I don't feel like digging for it.

Today was the last day to start practicing or go to IR. but again, you don't start practicing unless he's ready to.
I say it's about 50/50 that he play this year. I wouldn't rule him out especially since he didn't think it was that serious of an injury, disputed the decision and got a 2nd opinion.

Scratch that

Riddick played against Atlanta 5/56 LILB, New England 7/88 LILB, and Dallas 3/46 RILB.

Has 1 TKL & 1 Stop

I* don't know about this, I think he goes on IR until next season, our D has been playing real well and his injury was bad. I say give him more time to fully recover instead of risking injury again.

dueceloose · 11-19-2013, 07:37 PM

We win whether he makes it back or not.. if he doesn't hes getting more rehab if he does.. he's well rested lol. I'm pulling for him!

Anyone else notice our ir list is still rising. sheesh

Well that sounds good so he would be ready for the playoffs.

foreverfan · 11-19-2013, 08:13 PM

Insurance? Oh yea!!!

His salary may not say Victor will make much of a difference but I know he'll be huge. He may not gain the starting spot we thought he would but he will be a fresh body to blitz which is very underrated in the NFL, especially a guy with his skill set.

i hate talking ahead of time about playoffs, but its a different team from 12,we are as solid as the next contender, playoffs here we come.
