trent cole - dr bramel? (1 Viewer)

[Kool-Aid Larry]

I had thought his injury was originally a calf strain, which doesn't sound so bad, and that even prior to the bye he had started working his way back into practice, leading me to think he'd be in pretty good shape this week.

now I've recently read a blurb stating that his calf is 'still swollen' ---- that really doesn't sound good at all to me.

can a guy be an explosive pass rusher for 40 snaps on a swollen calf, or am I getting worried about nothing?

if my options were any good I'd just sit him first game back off an injury, but byes, injuries, etc.

would you feel comfortable playing him?

dallas strikes me as a fairly decent opportunity.

He's been off a few weeks but has been practicing througout the week and should be good to go. In my league, I picked him up after being dropped and now have the problem of deciding who to start - Cole or J Allen -- or both!

Added some thoughts in the Sunday AM thread.

Would ordinarily be a big concern. Little bothered, but the three consecutive full practices seem reassuring. Dallas matchup not as favorable as you'd think, though, and I'd expect that Cole gets closer to 55-65% of the snaps this week than his usual 85%+.
