Young didn't announce his retirement last offseason until June, just weeks San Francisco went to training camp. Cowboys coach Dave Campo said Tuesday that Aikman wouldn't play against the Titans. Aikman suffered his second concussion of the season and 10th of his 12-year NFL career against Washington on Dec. 10, and didn't play against the New York Giants last weekend. Steinberg said it was a coaching decision that Aikman wouldn't play in the finale Monday night. Not that he disagrees with the move.
Troy always wants to play.
I don't think there is a padded cell with quite enough padding to contain a restless Troy who is not starting. But he has maintained this season that he'd like to play as long as he enjoys the game and isn't risking horrible injury. His desire remains high, leaving his health as the main concern. Presently, March is a significant date. Jones anticipates sitting down with Aikman, the first player he ever drafted, soon after the season.
