I can't imagine that Quinn won't be on the field Saturday. It sucks that he won't be 100%, but that's football. This will be the second most visible game that he plays in all year from the media's perspective (most visible will be the NO Bowl...). I think Quinn would find a way to play in a leg cast.

i was told he tried to come back to practice the day after surgery but coaches would not let him. soundds like a tough guy to me

What most people don't know is that he performed that surgery himself using his good hand. He did it in that shop where they took the picture of Jamario and Dickey for the DRC preview.

I heard he used an old pocket knife, a couple of screws he was able to find on the floor and a piece of bailing wire. Then closed the wound with duck tape.

Man that guy is tough!

He used Jack Daniels to sterilize the wound after the procedure. And no he didn't pour it into the wound, he drank it.

He's still a wuss. He should've performed his self-surgery right after the injury and gone back a few plays later. What's worse, he's even going to wear a special glove so that he won't reinjure the hand. What a sissy!

On a more serious note, I know for a fact if its up to Johnny, he is going to play.

I'm glad he's got that kind of fire in him to play despite an injury. It's more than commendable.

But I was told that Johnny set the bones himself just by making the muscles in the injured hand shift into place. Then he sterilized the wound with Jack Daniels, then proceeded to sew the wound up with his good hand, then seal it by pouring gunpowder on it, lighting it, and then drinking the rest of the bottle.
