Stanton is already pedaling a bike!

Great news

No injury report today, but during open part if #AZCardinals practice, QB Drew Stanton, DT Ed Stinson on bike. Tyrann Mathieu practicing.

I would think that would be very difficult to do if it was more serious. If he can pedal, he can move and put pressure on it.

And not to start a firestorm or anything but Stanton was pedaling on bike a lot better than I expected given a knee injury 5 days ago.

During the open portion of practice QB Drew Stanton was riding a stationary bike.

Hello....HB practicing is pretty big news, too! All hands need to be on deck for the defense.

I am not a doctor but I would think that is a good thing.

Yup, that was what i was doing a few days after mine. Sounds about right. I don see why he can't play against SF.

Reports were out this morning that he would be out 4 weeks. Confusing information.

Just beat the Seahawks.

ESPN put a timetable on it. Cardinals have not. National agencies just guess stuff about us, its like the announcers on thursday night football.

Peddling a bike and taking massive shots from a head hunting defense are two vastly different things.

I think everyone understands that 100%.

The point is that we all were expecting that he was in bed with his foot elevated but he is rather pedaling on a bike. I am now far more confident that he will be with us for the playoffs.

 

[ARZCardinals]

That's GREAT NEWS!

He's stretching it out and it's not swelling up...that's huge!

Don't count him out for Sea

So are peddling a bike and pedaling a bike.

As my dad used to say.... Go peddle your papers somewhere else!!

LOL, was he on Ebay/Craigslist at practice?

Ha!

That's the real story. "Stanton caught selling team equipment!"

Don't ever trust Darren Urban, man.

+1

And ESPN is a joke, so in reality there is no timetable.

 

[splitsecond]

The reality with the injury is it can heal anywhere from a week to four weeks depending on the person, the specifics of the injury, how much a brace helps, etc. ESPN just went with the max to continue to pile on for whatever damn reason they feel like continually piling on.

Cut me some slack! It's Monday

I'm not a doctor either, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

The diagnosis is the Cards will win Sunday, he won't have to play the following week, he'll be making his return the first week after the bye, and his knee will have 78% functionality (more than enough to be effective).

 

[BigRedRage]

Arians estimated Stanton would miss between two and four weeks, but added that it was difficult to know. Stanton did ride the stationary bike during the open portion of practice, and while he wore a brace, seemed to walk OK considering his injury was just five days old.

Nice.

 

[Chopper0080]

My guess is that he comes back for our first playoof game, and not any sooner. I don't see why you would play him vs San Fran as it takes away valuable healing time.

I would only consider playing him vs SF if we lose to seattle but even then there isnt much of a difference between being the 5 and 6 seed so probably best he sits either way

 

[Iceman]

Just win Sunday and he can have another 3 weeks off and be ready for our home playoff game!

 

[WisconsinCard]

It's a tall order, but I believe we can still win this game. Didn't Max Freaking Hall beat New Orleans (if my memory serves me)?

:BIM:

So you might be saying that you are a pedal pusher then.

 

[PACardsFan]

Why rush the guy when you have a stud like Lindley under center

 

[Jetstream Green]

After a real week of preparation, we should hope for the unexpected and Lindley look like a better QB than Stanton for the playoffs
