Sanders and His Shoulder

[Panthers#1]

I know that Sanders has a shoulder sprain and has had a week off to heal his shoulder and go through rehab but how is he doing?

Some people told me that he has been going through 3 hours of therapy a day, he couldn't lift his arm above his head, and that he wouldn't have been able to play yesterday if we would of had a game.

Somebody else told me that he has been wearing a sling to class all week but on Friday he wasn't wearing one and thats probably a good sign.

I just want to know if anybody else has heard anything positive or negative about his healing process/expected start next Saturday?

Hopefully, he is on track and will be fully healed.

and that he wouldn't have been able to play yesterday if we would of had a game.

I think Coach Farley had said as much last week, that Eric probably wouldn't have been able to play (certainly not 100% at least) if we had had a game this week. Which is one of the reasons he was happy for the bye falling the way it did.

As for Sanders' prognosis, I'm just going to wait until I hear some sort of official word before I start speculating.
But I'll continue to send good health and recovery vibes his way. heh.

sanders was in a sling as thursday nite. Saw him at the dining center...mentioned it was feeling better and he'd be ready to go this weekend!

For whatever it's worth, Eric said today at press day that he is 90-95% sure he'll play.

[Dome fan]

Hmmmm... As a fan what I not want, but need is 110% sure! LOL Wish could make it to see this game! I will however be listening and watching just a few hundred yards from the dome. You'll hear me dont worry. OH BABY!!! Right along with Gary! Hehehe

[MediaPanther]

it's only Monday....a lot can change in the next 5 days...hopefully it will be 100% certain by Saturday.

[BCPanther]

Patrick Grace is being prepared as a co-starter for precautionary reasons... I don't think I would be surprised to see both of them play.

`'This is such a huge game. And homecoming my senior year,'' he said Monday afternoon. ``I've got to be out there. I don't want to miss this game.''

[Mountain Panther]

Well we all know what he did in 2005 after coming back from an injury

[01PantherFan]

I like what he said about not wanting to hurt the team if he isnt able to throw good but you also have to look at when he was hurt in 05 I think the staff will all but have to tie him to a bench to keep Eric off the field ! I hope this week brings good news for him !

[unigriff]

from one of my inside sources on the team, it doesnt sound good after yesterdays practice...but ill stay optimistic and hope for the best. Sanders is a trooper.

[Mountain Panther]

Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but if Sanders can come right back in the game after being knocked down at IlSt (when the injury was at its worst), and lead the team down the field to score, he should be able to play Saturday, right?

Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor...although I did watch ER last week...the sound wasn't on but I got the jist of it.
