Saban: Daniels' injury 'frustrating'

[TotoreMexico]

[FONT=Verdana,Arial, Helvetica]DAVIE -- Dolphins cornerback Travis Daniels, who missed all four exhibition games and the season opener with a sprained right ankle, also may miss Sunday's home opener against Buffalo.

"He's better, but I can't tell you whether he can play this week or not," Dolphins coach Nick Saban said Wednesday. "He's still questionable. It's day-to-day. He is doing enough stuff out there, even though he's not full speed, that he is making progress.

[/FONT]"It's been very frustrating," Saban said. "He's been out a lot longer than we [originally] thought. But it's through no fault of his because has absolutely done everything that a player could do to get back. I think he was here seven hours [Tuesday] rehabbing, working and doing what he can do. He's had a great attitude about trying to get back, he just can't quite shake it right now."

Is it a high ankle sprain?

If he can't even run full speed right now as that article states, let him rest man.. All we need is him to aggravate it more to get back to square one and see him out another 7 weeks.. Let him rest, we'll take care of the bills without him this week.

I think he will be back by the time we face the Patriots.

Yes bro.:wink:

Keep him out 'til he's ready. Felt the same way about Pepper. He's missed, but when he returns he'll hopefully be ready to contribute in a big way.

Be patient!!

We need to be patient, we are ,kind of in bad shape in the secondary, but that is not because the lack of talent ,it's because of the defensive plays, all of us know and even the experts said ,that it is the most dificult def skeam(?) in the league ,if not the most dificult, so even with him in it ,we will look awful for a while. Last year Madison got one interception at the end of the season, just be patient and let him rest, we are going to be ok!! GO DOLPHINS !!:mad: :dolphins:

High ankle sprains are tough to shake. Let him rest another week.

And they got another steal at corner with Poole, and he's done.

That's not the answer. They ALL need to step up and work cohesively as a unit.

Darn right. The issues we had last thursday was a collective issue. Good grief I hope we have him back well before we play the Pats. But, the high ankle sprains are the ones you definitely can worse back. I had a couple playing H.S ball and it is definitely 'frustrating'...
