So you weigh the up vs down sides of the decision to play the guy or let him heal another week. Pressure to win, being what it is with first year head coaches and GMs, I think Cassel will be thrown out there and hopeful that he's able to operate at near full strength.

Well, I don't know how much pressure Pioli and Haley have to win this year.

I'm thinking they have a free pass for this season because the roster is so talent depleted, and they have to completely eliminate the stink of the last regime.

There's a ton of work to get accomplished.
