Not a criticism of Ronnie Lott of course, but he didn’t cut his finger off during a game. It got mangled in a game, and in the off-season he decided to have the fingertip surgically removed rather than repaired, because repairing the extensive damage would have kept him sidelined for the start of the following season.

I sincerely hope he has someone with him that he can trust whose only concern is his well being. The pressure on him to play will be immense and all those that are screaming “it’s just a finger” won’t be paying his bills if becomes a long term problem that shortens his career. This is where the NFLPA might actually have some significant value. A union rep should be there to make sure Bryant hears what the doctor is saying, not just what he wants to hear. If the doctors green light him, great. Go play. But if they say there’s a chance you could do permanent damage, that’s when the union rep should lean in, look Bryant in the eye, and ask him if realizes what that may mean to his future earning potential. Let’s be honest, he’s a gifted WR. He isn’t a brilliant mind that will be flooded with job offers after he retires. He needs to make money now to last him the rest of his life.

If the Cowboys remain in the playoff hunt: play
If they get eliminated: shut him down and get the surgery

Wise move making Dez the ultimate decision-maker here. I mean, his decision making skills since he entered the league have been impeccable.

Why is it that clueless owner Jerry ‘Facelift’ Jones can say Dez Bryant is “the ultimate decision maker” in determining if he is healthy enough to participate in an NFL game when the very same owner second guesses Jay Ratliff’s choices when the identical issue comes up with Jay?

Isn’t there a story out there of I believe Ronnie Lott, cutting off one of his fingers at halftime because it was severely broken? He cut it off so he could go back out and play and not have to go have it fixed. That’s just nasty, nasty football.

If a CB can play with a hand cast on and still pull in an INT, then I would think Dez could play. And btw, this is a slow news days story, its a finger. Not an ALC/Neck/Hammy injury.
