I sprinted my finger 4 days ago it's still kinda sore and very swollen, i have football game on thursday of next week i was wondering if it is safe.

Not: Quite. It is safer to allow sprains or strains enough rest time to heal to prevent further injury or delay healing. May be 2 weeks if pain and swelling resolved
