Fisher said during a press conference that his injuries are career-threatening and is probably done with football. But remember this, Fisher also noted that Bailey could turn everything around and surprise us. “There’s a chance he doesn’t play (again), However, based on what he’s done over the last 10 days, he may surprise everybody.” – Fisher Well Bailey is doing the impossible and surprising every single.

After Bailey was released from the hospital, he wanted to make a point to himself and others that he was far from done with football. He created the hashtag #SteddyAmbition to prove everybody he is making a comeback. He’s hungry to get back on the field. Finally Stedman was able to get back on the field and run routes.

Bailey is doing the un-thinkable right now, and even if he does take some time away from football, it’s still a gift to be able to walk, run and practice again with the Rams.
