And risk the two seed?

I don't think Harbaugh would "rest" an uninjured Smith for any reason.

Barrows questioned Harbaugh as to whether Justin might need surgery in the offseason and Habaugh's response was "he might."

I don't think Justin is coming back -- in the finale or in the playoffs. I think the next game he plays will be the start of next season, providing this isn't a career ending injury. Now, before anyone gets upset -- I've heard NOTHING to suggest this.

Trust me if we have Justin Smith I don't even worry about that stuff... 2seed or 3seed it doesn't matter as long as Justin is good to go.

I'm COMPLETELY with you on this. I think Cowboy is done for the season. Hope I'm wrong though.

Unfortunately, this does remind me a lot of the Haralson injury. We know all the details of Manningham and Vernon but nothing is out there regarding Justin Smith.

Is there any good video out there of when exactly it happened in New England.

That's a very good question and observation. If there is, I haven't seen it.

sounds like they are seeing whether to put him on the IR.

Huh? Link? The Cowboy will be back for the playoffs unless his arm is falling off. Bank that s**t

When asked if Cowboy wil be availavble for playoffs, JH said he didn't know for sure.

When we get wishy washy reports like this its usually bad news. I'm a pessimist though so that's just how i see things

Has anybody isolated the play where he got injured? Why do i get the feeling that it was some sort of judo chop by makins when cowboy was locked up trying to draw a double team or something.

There very well may be a silver lining in playing in the wild card = 1 more extra game for CK to get his feet wet, and a bonus to that in that it's a playoff game.

Well, we've done nothing thus far to fill an extra NT/DE spot after that RJF nightmare Sunday, so I think he's coming back at some point (sort of like the Delanie Walker situation last year). -I think he has a minor bicep tear (they were saying it was an injury similar to Parys Haralson's, but not as severe/season-ending). -I think if we can get an extra week off he'll be 50/50 for whomever we host.
