Daunte's Rehab - Any New News??

[byroan]

yo by..that was reported last week (actually just before the Christmas game)

Link?

Everything I've read has said it's "unclear". It's unclear because it's still a long time from now.

It is still unclear whether QB Daunte Culpepper will be ready to join the team when its off-season program begins in March. The quarterback had arthroscopic surgery to relieve pain in his surgically repaired right knee last month.

The risk that he will not fully recover from the injury. When March rolls around there will be a very small window between work outs and the draft to determine whether Culpepper is, or will be, recovered from the injury enough to be effective. Given that practicing without pads, not getting hit, and not in any true game situations, it will be very hard to determine where Culpepper stands. It would be a pretty big gamble to assume he will be the same Culpepper that was a pro bowler in 2004. If we make the gamble, and Culpepper is not ready, then we essentially throw away next season too.

I've been saying this since September, but not as well stated :tongue:
