"It is too early for a career eulogy, but the excellence of Walter is probably unparalleled at that position in the history of the game. His level of consistency, his level of excellence, is unmatched."Jim Mora said. This sweet comment was for Walter Jones .
The 35-year-old Jones went on Seattle's injured reserve list Wednesday finally.His left knee may cant bear any more tortures. Because this is the nine-time he has been there.
"The pain never did leave," Jones said, mindful of how poorly he played last Thanksgiving Day. He started with the aid of painkilling injections, then watched quarterback Matt Hasselbeck get sacked seven times by the rampaging Dallas Cowboys.The pain becomes worse from a kidney condition diagnosed when he was a rookie back in 1997.From then on , the guy almost live up with the anti-inflammatories to fight fo the pain and swelling.
"I'm not going to step on that football field again until I am comfortable in this knee," Jones said."I know I can still go out there and compete with the best of 'em."
"We are going to let him heal up, have whatever procedures our medical staff feels is necessary and then we'll evaluate early next year," Mora said. "I'll say this: Walter has done everything that is humanly possible to get back and help this football team. ... But it's just not happening."
I hope he can return again.
