Yes, I would still hurry Ben back. We are walking the finest line we could possibly be walking right now. Chances can't be taken. IMO, We're one loss away from elimination.

Inject him up, suit him, and shove his butt out on that field. No time for playing around. I know a lot of you won't agree with me, but that's the way I see it at this point.

I also say try and get Ben back on the field ASAP if he can meet two criteria. 1, if he can make all the throws without pain. 2, if his doctors can clear him from any further danger.

To me, I want to know he can withstand a direct hit to the injured area without making it worse...they can't promise that...I'd sit him.
