Shall we take bets on Vernon returning this Thursday?

BigBlueDownTheShore : 10/8/2018 9:23 am
Count me as one who thinks he will play.
We need him  
Jints in Carolina : 10/8/2018 9:27 am : link
we had almost no pass rush yesterday. Hope he plays.
Out  
ZGiants98 : 10/8/2018 9:27 am : link
He isn’t going to be ready in 3 days.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 10/8/2018 9:30 am : link
I'm not holding my breath.
I do not believe he will play  
ShockNRoll : 10/8/2018 9:31 am : link
In fact, I don’t think we’ll see Vernon until after the bye week. Too bad, I think this defense has the potential to be very good, and they have been in spurts this year, but he’s a key missing piece. Hopefully they can win a couple without him to get back into this division race, then he can return to take the defense to the next level.

I think they held him out, so he could play Thursday night

He's been sidelined for around 4 to 5 weeks, so its not 3 days.
Zero.

Just forget  
rocco8112 : 10/8/2018 9:40 am : link
he is on roster. He will not play Thursday and when and if he does come back he will get knicked up again within three quarters.

Easier to forget he is on the team
His presence would be helpful  
Jimmy Googs : 10/8/2018 9:47 am : link
but likely the production won't be there anyway. At least until he gets his legs underneath him versus guys that have played for the past 2 months...
He wont be back until after the bye  
BlueHurricane : 10/8/2018 9:49 am : link
THat's what I believe.
Giants will have a tough decision with him  
Chip : 10/8/2018 9:51 am : link
after the season. Pay cut or go. The Giants are only 22mil under the cap with only 34 players on the roster. The next 17 at close to minimum and draft class eats up the 22 mil.
He  
AcidTest : 10/8/2018 9:56 am : link
hasn't played in more than a month. I wouldn't expect much even if he plays Thursday.
Didn't they say he had a setback? I doubt we see him on Thursday  
Ira : 10/8/2018 9:57 am : link
.
I think he is done for the year  
GiantEgo : 10/8/2018 9:58 am : link
If his ankle sprain is bad enough to keep him out this long he will probably be limited or get reinjured quickly.

For whatever reason some players are oft injured and some heal slowly. He seems to be both.

The next 17 at near vet min eat up about $9/10m.

In the immortal words of dick-head Gregg Williams:

“I tell them all the time, there’s two words that begin with the letter A they have to own to be a professional football player. One’s accountable. The next one’s available. When you’re not available, you’re working on your training-room internships.”

I mean, he's an all time jerk, but he's right about the availability thing... I don't care how good you are, if you can't stay on the field (even through no fault of your own), you do us no good.
He’ll return right after we lose Thursday

The season will all be but over at that point at that point but maybe he’ll get a few pressures a week the rest of the year!

Didn’t mean “at that point” twice...
He’s out for sure  
Tuckrule : 10/8/2018 11:00 am : link
The difference of 3 days won’t allow him to play. After this game there’s a good shot
Could see him returning for Thursday  
BBelle21 : 10/8/2018 11:19 am : link
But then, could also see him needing surgery and missing rest of the season

Folks need to realize that our world is unforgiving when "value" is not there. Value can be defined in different ways, but you see stuff like a guy paid a great deal, injured, and bad optic kneeler. Soft and cannot be relied upon. It is the same way in life, go to guys. Would you jump in a foxhole with this guy when shit is on the line?
He will be back once...

I'll believe he will play when I see him on the field. And if he does not play all season, I will not be surprised.
