Anyways, it does sound like great news and hopefully we get Andy back ASAP.

It's getting cold here in Cincinnati, so we'd need to run the ball a lot anyways, which will be important to also keep the heat off of AJ.

To everyone worrying about Dalton losing arm strength, I'm sure that there's machines that they could hook-up to his wrist, rather than gripping with his hand, to lift weights and maintain strength.  It obviously wouldn't be the exact same, but it should be enough.

I'm concerned about his ability to grip the ball correctly with a partially healed broken bone. I really don't think bones heal in a couple of weeks and it's a bone that gets used on every play by the QB. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but this injury sounds more problematic than Marv is letting on.
