Jordan May Be Game-Time Decision (1 Viewer)

[ceo3west]

Saw it this morning, but the site is blocked at work so I DON'T HAVE THE LINK. Has anyone else heard that his back problem is that serious? I saw other reports which said they kept him out of practice for rest/precaution, but this doesn't sound good. If anyone has any additional info on this please post.

Return to normalcy? Return from the Twilight Zone? Glad the world is getting right again. Too weird seeing him as the #1 RB after two weeks.

I think he'll break down and Rhodes will get the majority of carries after his suspension.

found this...

Starting RB LaMont Jordan (back) returned to practice Thursday and took most of the first-team reps and is expected to start barring a setback. We’ll monitor his back issues, which has been an on and off problem since training camp

09/21 Raiders: Jordan could be game-time decision

The News

LaMont Jordan's status may not be known until right before kickoff Sunday, according to the Sacramento Bee. Jordan is battling a sore back and hasn't practiced the last two days.

Our View

New head coach Lane Kiffin has quickly proven to be one of the most uncooperative coaches with respect to injury info, so fantasy owners might be playing a guessing game for a while. Stay tuned, and also give a look to Justin Fergas on your waiver wire, just in case.

Updating a previous report, Oakland Raiders RB LaMont Jordan (back) did not complete practice Thursday, Sept. 20, but did participate in most of it. Jordan should play during Week 3.

Fantasy Impact: He has a great matchup and is worth using this week.

Rotoworld;

Raiders coach Lane Kiffin said Thursday that the availability of LaMont Jordan (back) may not be known until just before game time Sunday.

The Sacramento Bee believes this could be gamesmanship on Kiffin's part, but it appears Jordan will be listed as questionable Friday. Jordan put in an intense practice Thursday, which is a great sign that he'll play. If he sits, Justin Fargas will start and Adimchinobe Echemandu will be active. The Raiders play at 4:05 ET, so fantasy owners may need to decide their lineup before officially hearing Jordan's status. Stay tuned.

Per The Sporting News:

Sept. 20, 9:16 p.m. LaMont Jordan - RB (rank: 13), Oakland

It's hard to tell if Lane Kiffin is making too much of LaMont Jordan's back injury, according to the Sacramento Bee. Kiffin said Thursday that Jordan (back) might be a game-time decision Sunday. He added Jordan missing practice Wednesday wasn't just about giving him rest and that Jordan's back was bothering him.

Fantasy Source spin: We'll keep you updated on Jordan's status, but expect him to be a game-time decision.

Next 3: CLE (29th in run defense; 171.5 ypg), @MIA, BYE. Bye week: 5 Week 3 rating:

Way blown out of context IMO.I think the same situation revolved around Housh earlier this year when he didn't practice. The guy has played two tough games and was being rested for a breakout weekend.He may have a sore back, hell, who wouldn't after a few games?

[qimqam]

when is Rhodes suspension up?

 

[Tat]

when is Rhodes suspension up?

after week 4?

 

[kaso]

Rhodes had a 4 games suspension, so he would be available to the team for week 5, however they have the bye that week. So Rhodes won't see the field until week 6 @ San Diego.

Two things come to mind when reading this:

1. At the end of the game last week Jordan was slow to get up from all of his runs. Granted he was over worked in that game and had every reason to be tired. But even then I worried that his back injury from last year might have returned.

2. I actually take the news that he practed on Thursday as really good news. Sure some reports state he didn't complete the practice, but nothing states what he missed. Over the course of the season there are numerous situations where a true starter doesn't practice all week and still starts. Had Jordan been held out of practice again yesterday or today, my opionion might be different, but I think he plays and plays well this weekend.

 

[Phurfur]

Return to normalcy? Return from the Twilight Zone? Glad the world is getting right again. Too weird seeing him as the #1 RB after two weeks.I think he'll break down and Rhodes will get the majority of carries after his suspension.

You have a short memory actually the first two weeks are a return to "normalcy". I'm guessing you're a Rhodes owner.

 

[3nOut]

Is he a good sell high candidate? Although he's playing well, do you think Rhodes' return will reduce the ampunt of carries and/or TDs he gets for the remainder of the season? I'm afraid it will be a RBBC so that they save the "wear and tear" on Jordan. What can you expect in return for him? Someone like Benson?

 

[Scorehoard]

Personally, Kiffin is playing the injury report game plain and simple. The Browns did an ok job against Rudi last week and still have yet to allow a rushing TD. LaMont is the workhorse and the clock that makes this offense tick. Do you think the Browns' game plan is geared toward Jordan?? Though the Browns have major issues in defending the pass (10 TDs given up), I suspect they are preparing for Jordan regardless. Kiffin surely understands this as well but is hoping to limit the Browns commitment to Jordan.

 

[TheFanatic]

Think about how motivated Jordan is right now. The guy knows that if he falters, Rhodes will be ready and willing to eat up carries come week 6. He is going to fight hard to keep Rhodes behind him on the depth chart. I say he plays.

But then in the only league I have him in I have Caddy penciled in over him right now, but I'm leaning towards putting Jordan in there and seeing what happens...

You have a short memory actually the first two weeks are a return to "normalcy". I'm guessing you're a Rhodes owner.

You know, I agree with you on this point but this whole "you're biased because you're an owner" schtick is getting old. When someone expresses an opinion, it has no bearing on whether they are an beneficial owner or not. E.g., this was a common accusation in the Ward/Jacobs thread - anyone who said Ward looked good and would get more touches, was "just biased because they're a Ward owner", and anyone who thought the opposite was just clearly a biased Jacobs owner.People don't form those opinions just because they happened to pick up Ward - they picked up Ward because of those opinions. More likely Ketamine just forgot that Jordan was actually a top 10 RB two years ago, and last year was not Jordan's fault. So if Ketamine *IS* a Rhodes owner, it's probably because he doesn't have a high opinion of Jordan... not because Jordan didn't fall to him in his draft. And if I'm wrong, and people do form opinions based on the what players they own, well convincing other people of it on a message board has no bearing on that player's performance or the coach's decision, so please don't bother.

Let me preface this by saying I am NOT an owner of anyone in Oakland, but I live in CA and have seen all their games the last few years. So, I would strongly disagree with the statement that "last year was not Jordan's fault." Jordan was horrible last year. Slow and plodding. Yes, the offense was horrible, but he was a major part of that offense. Now, which Jordan is the real Jordan? I don't know. I suspect he is an average back and will do well when he is in a good offense and poorly in a bad offense.

 

[murzman]

I suspect he is an average back and will do well when he is in a good offense and poorly in a bad offense.

This seems reasonable with any back in theleague but with only 70 yards passing last week, the Raiders offense was very far from even decent against the Broncos... Jordan was the only offense with 159 yards - and looked good getting those yards. He did well in a poor offense. Given the chances, I am sure Jordan will do well the rest of the year. It just depends on how much opportunity he gets. Last year was a pretty big wash for everyone in Oakland...

 

[murzman]

So what are Jordan owners doing this week if Kiffin still maintains that he will be a gametime decision? The bad part is that Jordan plays in the late games. Obviously, you could wait until just before gametime to decide if your replacement plays a late game, but what if your replacement plays in the early games?

This wouldn't be an issue if Jordan wasn't a top 5 start at RB this week against the Browns... is it worth the gamble on a goose egg for what could be a big day? I would guess he will easily top 100 total yards and 1-2 TDs

The latest per Rotoworld/SacBee - LaMont Jordan participated in at least some phases of practice Friday.Coach Lane Kiffin indicated Thursday that Jordan (back) could be a game-time decision against the Browns, but the feeling from those covering the Raiders is that Jordan will start. Check back Sunday afternoon to be sure.Source: Sacramento Bee

Running back LaMont Jordan was at practice for a second straight day after missing Wednesday’s session because of his bad back.--Jason Jones (Sac Bee)

Update per Rotoworld: LaMont Jordan was listed as probable for Week 3, and will almost certainly play.Jordan participated fully at practice on Friday and the Raiders could face a fine if he ends up not playing on Sunday. His owners can resume salivating about a match-up with the Browns, but concerns about the injury make him an RB2.

Hi 3,I think he's a great sell high candidate. I like him but Rhodes will definitely have an impact.J

Thanks bigscore.That sounds about right to me.Back was a little bit of a worry and had him limited in practice. Kiffin hinting at game time decision. Those close to the team think he'll start. J

I disagree. Unless Jordan is really hurting, which I doubt, LJordan will and should continue to receive a bulk of the carries after the BYE in week 5.If I am not mistaken, Rhodes hasn't been able to participate in anything with the team since the preseason ended. Who's to say he comes back in the right frame of mind, and in that "football shape" everyone talks about?I would like to know what substance(s) were found in his system when the suspension was levied, also.I do agree that LJordan is a sell high candidate though. I am also a Larry Johnson owner, FWIW. The Raiders have a tough playoff schedule and it would be wise to try and move after this week, especially if he has a big week and if you have some depth on your bench.

And even the year before, I would necessarily classify this as a "good" offense, and you have to remember he was second on the team with 70 receptions. Last year was a trainwreck for everyone involved.

LaMont Jordan: Raiders Will Roll With Him

RotoWire.com Staff - RotoWire.com

Friday, September 21, 2007

Update: Jordan (back, probable) practiced Friday and should be good to go Sunday at Cleveland, the Oakland Tribune reports. "We'll play him as normal and monitor him during the game," coach Lane Kiffin said Friday.

Recommendation: Backs can be tricky, especially Jordan's, but it looks like the Raiders will roll with him as much as possible this week.
