This is exactly what I was saying earlier. If traveling doesnt make the injury worse, I would think that the benefit of having him on the sideline would outweigh the negatives. I guess that's why he are not the coach...

Also, why not keep the Colts guessing for as long as possible if he'll play or not?

I guess that cheap Kraft wouldn't pony up for the extra hotel room.

I don't think it's bad news that he didn't travel. He's obviously still trying to make it back, but wasn't ready to go this week, so they left him home to work with the trainers and be ready for the next game if there is one. If there was no chance he could recover, wouldn't he have traveled and sat on the sideline in street clothes?
