Earlier this week I read a report that Steven Jackson will play this Sunday after missing 4 games due to a groin injury. Scott Linehan mentioned that he may a bit “guarded” in hopes of not aggravating the injury. This sounds to me like Steven Jackson may not be that close to 100%. I understand that they are winless, but what is the reasoning behind bringing back your star player a week before your bye? I understand that he gets paid to play, but it seems more logical to me that you rest him another game which will actually give him two more weeks of rest due to the bye week. Then you will probably get a more healthier Steven Jackson, to help make a late season push to finish on a positive note. They have no shot at getting into the playoffs, so why bring him back? Seems like he is trying to do anything possible to remove that 0 from the win column. Next thing you know, he will play a quarterback with two broken ribs……..LOL.
