First play of the game and he tweaks his ankle? Let's cut our losses now. Dude is made of balsa wood.

As I posted in an earlier thread, wasn't 1st play - was 5th play - and about the 3rd he was in there for. He went to the ground while blocking someone but didn't stay down and was able to run off the field. I'm of the opinion they were intending to limit him anyways - or like Kidhawk stated they were pressuring him to come back and when he didn't feel quite right it wasn't worth keeping him in there.
Having said this, I do agree that it has grown frustrating to see how often he's on the injury report - when he has been healthy and active he's been a great contributor..

You may be right, and time will tell, but in this particular instance, I wonder if he pushed himself, or felt pressured to come back due to our lack of running attack? I doubt we'll never know the answer to that, but I really don't think he was ready to come back.

I'd keep him around until his rookie deal ends and then cut bait. At least if someone else is foolish enough to sign him to a decent contract, we get a comp pick out of it.
