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.

I completely agree about CP. We don't want to burn him out now, even if he can play, because we will need him in January!

In the injury report Zorn says that Kelly's knees are ok now and that he will be held out for lack of reps. That is not good for this week, but maybe, just maybe, we're finally on track to have him contribute down the line.
