If he doesn't even see the doctor until next week even if he gets the go ahead I can't imagine him being ready to go for NW.  He hasn't even practiced in pads yet and they would throw him in there game week?  I'd love to have him back, but with how conservative we tend to be in these situations I can't fathom them letting him go vs NW if he doesn't get cleared until next week.  Imagine him being a little rusty and a quick DE puts speed move on him and he reaches awkwardly jamming it into the player trying to stop him or worse yet falling on it awkwardly trying to brace himself and reagravating it.  I know this could happen anytime, but without preseason reps he'd be in a tough situation.
 
On the other hand if he got cleared this week I'd be much more optimistic because he could at least get a couple practices under his belt then have a week to get assimilated (same for RT position if Hickey goes over there).  I'm not in sports medicine by any means but I wonder why they couldn't have at least moved his appt up a couple days to a week instead of during our first game week.  I'm guessing it has something to do with strict rules as far as time between appt/evaluations but too bad if he is actually healthy and ready to go (as he has mentioned) that he can't get seen this week and cleared.
