It was one of those games. One of those games.
I want the best guy out there to do the job. That's where you look, No. 1, and who I think will be most effective against the team that you're playing. You take that into some consideration, but I need the best guy out there.
I want this to be clear, ... This decision is a result of a large number of situations that accumulated over a long period of time. He's been warned repeatedly about the consequences of his actions. We gave Terrell every opportunity to avoid this situation.
It was a day-to-day thing, and it was a matter of getting the swelling out. We're not home yet. He worked it today, and we have to see if the swelling stays out. He's been living in the training room with Rick Burkholder. He felt pretty good today.

It tightened up a little bit toward the end of practice yesterday and I pulled him out of that second practice. He's just getting back in the swing of things. It's not near as bad as it was when he left but I just don't want to take any chances. It would be nonproductive.
The games have been a little closer and it's given us more opportunities to call some more running plays.
The groin's being affected, ... They told us once the groin's become an issue, then recovery is not going to take place and rest isn't going to help it. There's just too much discomfort to where Donovan can't run and function. We're to that point.
You want to know how he will fit in. What kind of a person is he? Will he fit in? And Jevon gave him a nice recommendation.
I'm sure (injuries) hurt him there a bit. He was battling through it. It was not an easy thing for him.
I'm sure everybody has their opinion on him. Obviously there are some guys that like him and guys that didn't like him. He doesn't get into that. Every week people try to taunt him.
In hindsight, ... I didn't look very smart on that one.
I knew he was hurt. It wasn't nearly as bad (Monday) night when he was playing as it was when he woke up (Tuesday) morning. It kind of stiffened up on him. He felt comfortable playing. He never said a word about it. He just went out and did his thing.
I like his size and the way he runs the football. I thought he did a nice job of catching the football and I thought he was good in blitz pickup, recognizing people coming. Before he went to Miami, I thought he was a heck of a running back and he was in a numbers situation down there and his number was out. He is a good football player.
