I guess the relevant question is where is this after 24 days, 31 days, etc. But that's a pretty dramatic drop in the re-injury rate probability over the next week so it's no surprise they chose to rest him again. The team is playing to win the division with an outside chance of having a bye the first round. Probably the best possible circumstance for us to be in given an otherwise catastrophic-ish injury.
