Why didn't we put him on IR?

Probably they didn't see enough through the whole off season and preseason to warrant paying his full salary

CPayne.. the pros usually have it done right away. Sports players are in top form and have top care, these guys get it done quick. I remember Brady having his done very quickly, and the same with Welker. As in quick within a matter of days if not hours.

Still the swelling has to go down before they can do anything is the point, and sometimes that can take days depending on the severity of the tear.

Right, world class athletes aren't immune to swelling.

This is a quote from when Carlos Rogers tore his ACL three years ago...
"He will undergo surgery when the swelling subsides in a few weeks and Gibbs will consider signing..."

Tom Brady tore his ACL 9/7 and had surgery 10/6. Wes Welker tore his 1/3 and had surgery 2/2.

Dude should get an internship at McDonalds while he is rehabbing.

So he can hang out with the commoners that he has such respect for.

hahaha, now I hope he signs with the Cowgirls and Sellers runs over his ass a'la Brandon Jacobs}}}}}}}Landry style.......

For a couple of quarters against the Cards, the dude was in the zone -- he looked like Ray Lewis out there. It's a bit curious to see him discarded, but without the injury I guess it remains to be seen whether he would have made the roster. As CRR said, there likely wasn't enough on a sustained level to warrant leaving him a spot.

Ok.. I was wrong.. lol... may memory fails me at times.

I am not even going to speculate any more. We should wait till the injury and surgery are at least announced.

Maybe it was an MCL tear or something. I don't know, all any of us know is he was cut.

Per a twitter. Henson said they scoped his knee to look at it, and they will tell him more tomorrow.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Well if that is the case and he is ok. I want him back and Blades gone ASAP.

Henson has outplayed Blades all preseason.

O hppe tommorow brings good news for Henson. I would think he would be brought back if there was nothing more to the scope other than draining some of fluid that may built up due to swelling.
