That's what I've read but I thought Dooley said Monday on Vol Calls.. What's accurate?

Removing the cast does not mean as much as you think. It has only been 4 weeks since the fracture occurred. Depending on xray, he may go into a new cast. Would not trust an impatient teenager with a brace! They may be taking it out to start using a bone stimulator, who knows?

Could give you much more info on his healing prognosis if I could see original xrays and the next ones monday...Skeeter? Freak? Anyone? LOL

Bray, coaches,fan should get no vote. Xray for callus formation is the only important thing. Expect 6 weeks from time of fracture...no matter how Bray feels.

He better be drinkin milk by the gallon! Vitamin D and C, Zinc supplements and a bone stimulator...heck, I would do the bone stimulator at the clinic then recast him everyday. Do not trust him to keep a thumb spica brace on when not supervised...he is money, guard closely, trust no one! Hehe

Slash was over at my place last night sipping jagermeister and he said it could be monday. Or wednesday.

Then he said he wasn't really sure.

He was a bit drunk.

Flame me if you want but I am sorry if I am the starting QB and my team is dying without me, I brace my finger up, wrap it and get out there and play. I got all off season to rest it I want to wim some games. But maybe that is my old school mentality!

that's not old school that's just dumb. His thumb that he uses to grip a football is broken and just had surgery. Risking decreased production, not to mention permanent injury, is not worth it

This^

Why rush him back to try and salvage this wash of a season. I would much rather have a bigger, stronger, faster, more accurate TB next year with all his weapons back then a 75-80% TB next week and risk re-injury or worse.

Besides, how the hell is he supposed to throw a ball with a cast/brace on his throwing hand?
