It isn’t like he is risking his life. Just the functionality of his finger. As a wide receiver.

They don’t need their hands strong or in good shape, right?

Good career move.

Ronnie Lott lost part of his finger and kept on playing. This is really silly. Put a splint on it and go play football. It’s not like he is risking his life….

Put a splint on. Wrap the finger. Play for your teams season.

It’s not his brain, and that has been irreparably damaged anyway.

As a Cowboys fan I’m torn. On one hand I admire his will and we have missed someone stepping up to show leadership like this all season (it’s not coming from Garrett). We’re a much better team with him on the field and he will help keep defenses honest. Even if he doesn’t catch a pass, his presence will help the run game and other receivers. On the other hand, if we lose and are out of the playoffs, he needs to go ahead and sit and have the surgery immediately so he doesn’t do more damage.

It’s a broken finger people. His quality of life isn’t going to be effected by this it’s just a finger. Maybe he may not be able to pick his nose when he retires but that’s about it. You people crying about him playing are drama queens and need to get over it.

This is dumb and crosses the line. The team needs to make him sit. What is the point of have a Dr. give their opinion if the player will simply overrule them. I could understand if this was the playoffs or the SB, but it’s not. Curt Schilling got blasted when he said he wouldn’t pitch on 2 or 3 days rest when he won the WS with the Diamondbacks and was blasted for it. Players NEED to realize choices now have effects later on in life.

For what purpose? Jerry’s ego? To keep Dez out of the malls on Sunday? SMH…

If for nothing else, play for my fantasy team Dez. We need you badly.
