Bring him back full speed for our home game against the Giants 11/30.
I had a feeling Springs' calf was torn after the Dallas game. No one misses 6 weeks with a calf strain. Good thing we signed Hall I guess.

Agreed on CP and sitting a couple of weeks. As to Springs I hope he can contribute again at some point this year but I'm worried. Considering the Kelly debacle I'm suspicious Zorn hesitates too much before pulling the trigger. Kelly probably should have been put on IR weeks/months ago and contemplating Springs horrible injury history and how much he struggles to play through even some sand in the vagina it may be wise to IR him now
or if he won't agree now to a huge pay cut for next year possibly cut him ASAP. I know this sounds crazy because he is our best DB when healthy but this year has seen a return to his super brittle days and again he cannot work through injuries. Also seems sort of in fashion right now around the league to dump the problems... Springs is a huge f'n problem sucking down $8 mil a year while he chills on the sideline. (obviously i'm a little sick of this guy - my very elderly grandma has fewer health problems for f sake.)
