You don't sit that kind of player if he is able to play.

Is he more likely to get hurt this week than he would be next week? It sounds like the answer is a definite yes, though the difference may be slight.
Do we need him to beat the Titans? Seems unlikely, but out of caution you could have him available as a backup.
That's about all it comes down to for me. Yes, he CAN play. I don't think there's much of a doubt about that. But if we can protect him a bit and make sure he's in GREAT shape rather than just OK shape, that seems like a win to me.
