*surgery :)

Damn. I thought you meant he had no need for his Russian massage therapist Surgey.

Let him rehab all week and rest/rehab during the long trip to Seattle and back and hopefully he’s good to go for Az on 12/13

I will say this - I've never seen a player react the way Jones did hopping off the field and come back the next week.

I can actually think of two current QB's who did this.

Ben tweaked a hammy several years back. Limped off. Came back. Limped off again and played the following week. Same with Cam Newton. That's no assurance Jones will play, but it isn't like it has never happened.

But Ben does this with every injury

is true. Both are drama queens.

The MRI simply shows the extent of possible shear or tear in the muscle mass. Surgery would rarely be indicated unless there was a large tear and a hematoma or large blood collection was critically compressing a vital structure. This is not the case as it is stated but does have some mild tear that should heal with time.
Active physio and ultrasound treatment most of the week should make him better but not sure he will be ready anytime soon. Just my opinion though this is not my medical specialty.

and if DJ's hamstring injury is not too serious (via the MRI), then he needs to play. If he does the following, then he can play: 1. move within the pocket 2. No RPOs 3. When pressured, throw the ball away or just take a sack Although not optimal, this would yield better results than playing McCoy.

Agree 100%. It all rests on whether or not Jones can plant on his back leg to make all the throws, and move around the pocket effectively. He clearly wasnt able to do that yesterday, but if it's a mild strain I would think it should be OK by Sunday. Again, no one is going to know anything until he has a chance to get on the practice field.

didn't even know that was on the table.

surgery is rarely EVER done for a hamstring injury, unless is completely ruptures off the bone and needs to be re-attached. That doesn't happen much. But a regular hamstring strain can still knock him out for a long time. He could be out a month or a week. Doubt we'll know anytime soon, as they will prob just call him week to week to keep opponents on their toes. But not needing surgery here isn't any big news.

He did say in his interview that he’s never had an injury like that before ... part of the reaction could have just been fear of the unknown.

Anyone who's ever had a hamstring pull knew that. He was walking around on the sideline even after going back in. If it was bad, he would not have been. He'd have been off his feet in the locker room.

In the mean time, I'd tone down the designed runs for him in the short term. They're going to get him killed one day when the hammy's better.

We all know hamstring injuries suck, but they can be played on (assuming its a mild strain). We know Jones is tough and will want to play, but it's in Judge's hands now. Interesting...let's say Philly wins tonight. Would that make the next game a must-win game for the Giants?

We'd be half-game back with 5 to go. Hardly a must win. In fact, this game coming up with the Seahawks, even with a healthy DJ, is probably the most likely loss out of the remaining games. We are pretty damn tough against the run, so we are good matchup wise against the Ravens and Browns, and the Cards defense is undersized and soft and we are big upfront. We should bully them.

He wouldn't look like he did if its a mild strain. I'd lay money down he doesn't play Sunday.

Just think, we'd have a nice 3 game cushion or so and could afford to let DJ rest and heal with some room for error. Now we really hope he misses only 1 game. Don't expect McCoy to be Jeff Hosteler of 1990

We’re not beating Seattle anyway, Jones or no Jones.

The structural weaknesses in Jones's hamstring, Xmines shoulder, Carter's achilles, and Barkley's knee should have been recognized prior to the draft. How is he still here?

Wait for the MRI and then respond after actual information has been relayed. This is all nonsense until then.
