Romeo Crennel arrived today at his daily news conference on crutches after having his sore knee drained by doctors. Crennel said he was unsure if he would be off crutches in time for Sunday’s game against the Broncos in Denver.
If he’s still using the crutches, Crennel would coach the game from the pressbox rather than on the sideline.“If I go upstairs, I’ll be talking to (defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs) and I’ll be talking to (offensive coordinator Brian Daboll), and I can get word to (special teams coach Tom McMahon), if I need to, and then just call the game from up there, make critical decisions from upstairs,’’ Crennel said. “Some people like to go upstairs and call the game and look at the game because they feel they can see more than they can on the sideline. But I’ve always been a sideline guy myself.’’Crennel said he has had problems with the knee on and off during the season.“It blew up on me last night,’’ he said. “When I went to the doctor, he took quite a bit of fluid.“It should be OK. I’ve been icing. I just have to go slow initially. Today at practice, I might not be running around as much. I might even have a seat and watch today to take the load off the knee.’’Crennel learned Wednesday night that linebackers Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson, safety Eric Berry, running back Jamaal Charles and punter Dustin Colquitt were selected to the Pro Bowl.“Hats off to those guys for what they were able to accomplish,’’ he said. “A well-deserved reward. There is a bright spot in the season that we have guys people respect the way they play, the way they conduct themselves.’’Hali and Charles missed practice on Wednesday because of flu symptoms, but Crennel said they would practice today.
