The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... A pair of recent tweets from Finley created the impression that he’s closer to a return. “Awesome news!” he said, followed up “#IWillRiseAgain.” He then tempered that with this: “Minor SetBack 4 A Major #Comeback.” But according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, the tweets don’t mean much.
Diehards Line:
As Demovsky explains it, “There has been no change in either his medical clearance or his contractual status with the Packers. ...” Finley underwent neck surgery last season. In late January, Finley said that he expected to be cleared soon. His agent reiterated that stance but it still hasn’t happened. As PFT suggests, hopefully, it will in time for him to play in 2014. But fantasy football owners shouldn't get too excited until the clearance comes.
