Reason I'm asking, is because Bowl season is usually when teams see players return from injury a lot of the times. I haven't heard anything regarding Eddie returning, but I figured if we did, it will be in the coming weeks.

Do any of you see it as possible?

From everything I've heard - both from Coach, and elsewhere, it ain't gonna happen.

Coach sounded unequivocal...


I just don't see it...


Plus, he's a senior.

Entering the draft....

I don't remember seeing him this past weekend but pretty sure he was still on crutches during the UTC game. Given that, I don't see him returning by the first week in January.

It would be great to have him back just to field punts. Diggs scares me every time he fields one.

he was rolling off the field after the barn game on one of those scooter things they use.
I wondered who that was. But, to be fair, it is a lot faster and easier to travel long distances on one of those than on crutches. Crutches suck.

Being that Diggs is a true freshman, I wonder if he will be returning punts in the playoff. He can make plays but he has made some mistakes as well. I personally wouldn't mind seeing Calvin Ridley back there. He's not been as involved in the passing game as he was last year- not his fault imo, and it could be a way to get him going.

NO way Eddie will be back in for the playoff. He should have his cast off in two-three weeks and Then he has to get in game shape in time. So I don't think he'll play at all, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him dressed in the final game taking the last snap.

I don't expect to see Eddie, other than on the sidelines.

The next time we see Eddie will likely be at camps for the pros.

I think he is done too. From what little detail I've read, I understand he needed surgery and hardware was used to fix the fracture. That being the case, he won't be game ready by the semi final or final but may be OK for the NFL physical, tryouts and interviews.

When I first read the thread I thought the OP was talking about Lacy at Green Bay for the NFL play-offs like an idiot. I agree with everyone else that Eddie will not be back this year (either one of them). Just get ready for pro day and the combine Eddie.
