Here we go again.

Theo on with Dale & Neumy on WEEI: �The thumb is doing much better than he thought it would. The swelling and the soreness has not risen to a level that he expected after yesterday. So that�s good news especially because we�re going to be treating this thing by the symptoms. It�s a sprain. It�s not a complete rupture of the ligament. Surgery is not indicated. So we�re really going to treat it with taping, maybe a partial splint and hopefully that�s tolerant. I�d imagine that late this weekend, maybe Sunday, he�ll try to take BP, and if that goes well he shouldn�t be too far away from playing but we have not placed him on the disabled list, that�s a pretty good indication that our medical staff thinks that we need to treat the symptoms.�
