I have no idea, your eminence. I think if he was going to play this Sunday, he'd be active today, at least in a red jersey.

 

[PatsFan2]

Entirely speculative. I personally don’t expect he’ll play Sunday, but the SuperBowl is different. Vrabel thought that 4 games was a reasonable time to reevaluate, and now he’ll have another 3 weeks. So, as far as we know, it is possible.

The Impending Return of the Mack.

Good Questions?? I need you for find out One-if that's why we pay You the Big Bucks.

You paid me so much I am on the beach in the French Riviera. I hear it is cold back there?

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

BB conditioned them not to even think about asking follow up questions lol...

It is too bad the Boston sports reporters are so clueless and in the bag.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Gamesmanship? Why did he stress the “not today”?

One-if.

That is what is odd. They can activate him and it lasts for 3 weeks which covers the Super Bowl, so why not activate him? What harm is there in that? Hollins could be having a final medical test today or tomorrow so the Drs. might clear him yet this week and he can be activated in time for the Broncos game? They don't want to activate him before final medical clearance? Did any of the sports reporters ask? Why cant the sports reporters simply ask if that means Hollins is OUT for the AFCCG?

If they activate him he'll take a roster space and they'll have to cut someone. Would suck to cut someone and then have Collins turn out to not actually be able to play.

I think they can activate him off IR but do not have to add him to the roster for up to 3 weeks. Remember Williams was practicing with the team for two weeks but was not activated to the roster until the 2nd game after he started practicing. Unless the rules are different during the playoffs.

Does anyone know what is his injury exactly. All ive ever heard was a vague abdominal injury

Which beach? Or, which town?

Back in the day I had a couple of trips to DEC’s European Technical Center in Sophia Antipolis, and a couple of customer conferences in Cannes. Best was leaving Boston in the middle of a late Spring snowstorm, deplaning in Nice under gorgeous blue skies, and driving down streets lined with blooming cyclamen on the way to the hotel. Truly wonderful!

I never made it to the beach, but I liked Cannes and Antibes and Nice, really the entire Côte d’Azur and especially the old town of Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

Enjoy! I’m definitely jealous.

Pulled Pudendum?

jk.

I was guessing probably a sports hernia. Or something like that. That’s consistent with his past injury history.

I believe they can designate him to return, then he can start practicing for up to three weeks to see if he’s really ready to go. If he is they can activate him which moves him off IR onto the active roster. That last step is when they need a roster spot open. If they don’t activate him he reverts to permanent IR for the rest of the season at the end of the three week window.

It seems they could open his practice window without any downside risk and then if they don’t activate him it’s nbd, but it may be that once 5hey open that window he has to begin practicing and if he’s not ready there could be medical risk as a result.

He puts on a red non-contact jersey and walks around. No medical risk. Hollins must have something that is very sensitive.

Now wondering if his hernia issue has returned.
Very frustrating not having certainty on his return. If out for the year, wish they will just say so so we move on. It is the hope that kills.

How do you know it's a sports hernia? Was that reported somewhere?

Hernia was my guess too which just occurred to me earlier this morning.

Apologies, I meant to say I was wondering. I know that he had serious issues with it
5-7years ago.

OK. Depending in severity (see surgery), sports hernias can take a long time to recover from.

When he said "Activate" he meant "start the 3 week practice window". Like Denver did with Dobbins. When they start that practice window, they are still, technically, on IR.

Which is why Terrell Jennings has been practicing, but not been activated.
