Jason Taylor to have second surgery on Monday on calf

[DCtoAZ]

shut him down .. one thing about taylor I love is his ability to knock passes down at the line of scrimmage in key situations ... it's happened about 3-4 times this year where he has knocked down a ball on 3rd down or key situations ... if he can be 90-100% healthy for the stretch run ( beginning vs Dallas ) I think that can really catapolt (sp) us deep into the playoffs .. how about erasmus james ?? where is that guy !

Being healthy for the last 7 games after the bye should be his focus. I'd love to see him come out 100% guns blazing in the Week 11 Dallas game and crush Romo a few times.

I'm not worried about what we'll get from him when he's healthy. IMO injuries are the only reason he's not pro-bowl quality right now.

Evans is solid and should be in there.

Love how this thread is filled with people wanting him back in if he were 70-80% earlier in the year. Rushed him back and just slowed down his progression.

When you say "earlier in the year," do you mean right after the calf injury or before?

Right after, when there was a rumor he could come back.

Taylor Headed for Hospital Tonight

Steve Yanda reports:

Defensive end Jason Taylor said after the game that he planned to go to the hospital Sunday night after the team returned to Washington to have his injured left calf examined.

Taylor was scheduled to have the calf drained Monday morning, but he indicated he might not wait to have the procedure done. He said he would stay at the hospital overnight regardless of when the procedure took place.

"We're going to go in tonight and try to fix it again and see where we're at," he said. "We're going in tonight. I think we're doing it tomorrow, but I'm going in tonight."

Taylor, who underwent emergency surgery to relieve acute compartment syndrome on his left calf earlier this season, said he would stay at the hospital overnight regardless of when the procedure took place.

The calf has healed more slowly than expected, and Taylor confirmed he was not close to being at full strength during Sunday's game.

"It felt like it has the last few weeks; it's not right," said Taylor, who recorded one tackle against the Lions. "I'm nowhere near myself, but I'm trying to give what I have and help this team, and as long as we keep winning that's all that matters."

He'll be back for the playoffs.

I just was listening to the zorn presser. He stated there was a little skin infection,and that JT would be off his feet for the next three days.

And he does not expect JT to be involved Monday at all. Yes, he is out until after bye week zorn stated!

I know tht JT is dinged up (and has been for the season -- first getting in to game shape and then with the calf problem), but the reality is we're close to last in sacks this year. Our D has been great regardless, but I would really like to see the Skins pressuring more -- with their line -- on defense. I wonder whether Chris Wilson (who has crazy speed for a DE) can make more of an impact. We have to have guys step up and provide more pressure in the second half of the season. It puts a real strain on our secondary when opposing QBs have time to look at multiple options, and while our secondary has arisen to the challenge, we still will have real tests this season against the Giants, Dallas, and Eagles, among others.

Sidenote, off thread topic: From what zorn just said Samuels is going to need some repairs on his knee. Not sure how soon. They hope to have him for Monday?

But the repairs could come before seasons end....?

[Hog1]

Although they did not say, they imply that he might be out a couple of weeks as well

[SmootSmack]

Thanks. Didn't see the presser

[Redskins_P]

I'm all for keeping him out until after the bye. Let him rest and not do any kind of football activities. We need JT at 100%. Plus, its not like Demetric Evans is a bum. That dude has been playing really well all year. He deserves some more PT.
