Thanks, Doc.

It's probably a fair bet for a 4-week return then?

Most importantly, once you replace the tire, the car can still run well ???

Usually.........as long as the rims aren't bent......and, of course, if the engine and the rest of the car was OK before you started messing with the tires.



In medicine, exact explanation of causes of diseases, concise diagnosis and absolute predictability of outcome of treatment are difficult, if not impossible!

I hope Lestar Jean is back for the Packers game. We shouldn't need him to beat the Titans and Darelle Revis-less Jets the next two games. He's come a long way and I honestly feel he has potential to be the future number two over Kevin Walter.

He was in here for treatment an hour after surgery. He’s up and around, doing good today. He’s a 100 percent committed to treatment right now. He goes to the afternoon meetings and we’re hoping that maybe we’ll pull this off like we did with (FB James) Casey a few years ago. James had the same thing done and actually made it back in two weeks, so we’ll see.”

I don't think that Kubiak made this statement trying to be disingenuous......However, his statement is somewhat misleading. Casey's scope was performed Monday November 2, 2009, following the Sunday Bills game. He missed the Colts November 8 game. The Texans then enjoyed their Bye Week, September 15. Casey then returned for the later than usual MNF game with the Titans on September 23. Therefore, he was able to ctually return for game play exactly 21 days (3 weeks) following his scope.

Jean practiced today and is expected to play Sunday night.

WR Lestar Jean (knee) practiced & should be ready to play this week. S Quintin Demps (forearm) did not practice #Texans

The question, with all due respect, Doc, I think would be when he started participating in full practices and I think that would give us a little better understanding of the time frame.

I'll try to present the facts in line with your request.

Casey's scope was November 2 and he returned to full practice (a true full contact Thursday) on November 19, 4 days prior to his return game on November 23. From time of scope to playing in a game was ~3 weeks. (NOTE: In my previous post, I accidentally typed September 19 and September 23, instead of November 19 and November 23).

Jean's scope was September 25 and has returned to "full" (non-contact) practice 4 days prior to his return game on October 14. True full practice technically will not occur until tomorrow.) From time of scope to playing in a game (if he plays Sunday) will be ~3 weeks.

On our only full contact day, Jean had limited participation.

I think so. But, without a full contact practice prior to game return, it may not be a clear sign that he will return THIS Sunday. We'll just have to see.
