If he hurts his shoulder, and is bothered by knee tendonitis, hes a lot more likely to sit the game out than if just his shoulder was giving him trouble.

John Riggins talked about this on his show yesterday, he said that he thinks CP might be dealing with his knee the same way John dealt with his back that one year when it was a cronic problem...basically he played the games on Sunday and that was pretty much it...the rest of the week he was in the training room.

Riggins also mentioned the fact that although CP might not be as effective because of the injury and time missed he could still contribute as running back is the one position you can typically miss time in practice at and come back on Sunday and go right into the game without loosing as much.
