Being an individual that has recently gotten over a goin injury a little over a week ago, I can tell you its no joke and you definitely need to stay off your feet.

I agree that Reid was probably making some sort of power play here, and honestly I don't think it was veiled in the slightest - he's the coach, he's trying to exert some authority. I don't really like it, but Reid's always run it his way, and he's shown success. It's just like TO - you know what you're going to get, like it or not.
TO was cleared to practice, and did participate in some workouts all week - he wasn't exactly being tossed out there in street clothes.
I've experienced groin injuries slightly more serious than TO's (although playing hockey, not football - similar effect, though), and I do understand the need for rest and treatment . . . but he took his week off, and was cleared by his own medical people. It's hard for me to buy the groin pitch.
