Non-Packer Significant Injuries - Running Thread

Damn, that's tough.  These MRSA infections are scary b/c of how little you can do to treat them.  Hopefully Fells will be able to walk after they're done with treatment.  

 

I guess the bright side of this awful, awful situation is that he'll be able to get a pretty sizable settlement, setting himself up for life.   Pretty sure Carl Nicks and LeCharles Bentley did when their careers ended due to staph infections.  Giants seem to be a pretty stand up organization, so doubt they'll fight this too hard.  

Didn't Finely have a similar issue with his knee?  

Finley was rehospitalized after his 2009 knee surgery for an extended period due to infection, yes.

Resting up for the showdown with Rodgers.

@RapSheet: #Broncos OLB DeMarcus Ware’s back injury, described as a strain, is expected to keep him out about two weeks, per source.

Don't believe it was MRSA, though.

Link to the Daniel Fells story.

Scary stuff, but it's not an isolated incident.

Several N.F.L. teams have had MRSA outbreaks. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had three players who were infected in 2013, including the former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes. Tynes has retired and is suing the Buccaneers, claiming that unsanitary conditions led to his infection.

@AdamSchefter: MRI confirmed Jamaal Charles tore his ACL, per source.

That sucks.  

John Sullivan was interviewed this afternoon and when asked if he was worried about someone targeting his back he said 'It'll get tested every day in practice by a 340-pound Linval Joseph, but as far as someone just coming up and hitting me in the back, nah, Suh's no longer in the division.'

Big loss. But Brady's mobility will mitigate the effects

@AlbertBreer: Per @globejimmcbride, Patriots LT Nate Solder is out for the season with a torn right biceps.

 

@PFF_Sam: Tom Brady is averaging a hair over 2 seconds (2.06) per attempt. No team better equipped to mitigate loss of a LT.

That is a big injury.

Blows keep coming: Lions LB DeAndre Levy will undergo hip surgery and could be out for the season.

#Lions will wait 2-3 weeks before making a call on DeAndre Levy, who is having hip surgery. Could return for a month or more, could be on IR

WOW!

Detroilet is in a world of hurt.

Are they gonna lay another O-fer?

Expect more pick plays from Tommy and Co.

Pshaw.

Unfrozen Caveman coach is such a geenyous and all, he has proven he can plug any OL into his 'system', and the offense misses nary a beat.

I'd try my hardest not to cry myself to sleep the night that happens...

An infection and a second surgery on his injured ankle will probably force Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey to miss the entire season.

yikes, infection ne'er any good.

Johnny Highball got pulled over earlier this week. Drinking involved. Little domestic violence. Girlfriend says Johnny Boilermaker pushed her head into a window. 

 

Details, like Johnny ScotchnWater's future, are sketchy. 

passing a car on the shoulder is so high school...  well so is arguing in the car with your girlfriend and passing like that to scare the **** out of her cuz your so dumb and, in this case, entitled. 

 

otoh, I'm not sure I ever head johnny say he actually quit drinking.  just that he went to rehab.  it doesn't seem to have taken.  don't care about the drink but roid raging down the highway with someone you supposedly care for and putting folks at risk - entitled brat is still there.

Doing 90. While drinking. Dumbass. 

from the little I read he's been acquitted on the scene of being intoxicated, naturally.

Sooner or later the Browns are going to have to make the choice to cut the little prick free and cut their losses.

 

I'd recommend sooner, but that ship has already sailed.

Can't fix stupid boys. And very apparent Johnny Walker Red ain't ready for adulthood much less the NFL.

 

 

Johnny Texas will be back in Texas to show the old man how its done

It is really, really unfortunate the Browns took that clown because he was destined to be a Viking or Cowboy and the implosion would have been so much more spectacular.

But its business as usual in C-Town.  Making stupid decisions is what the Browns do - and they do it very well

if they pad him in collage he woodnt be making bad choices now. #hottake

Takes practice to be able to handle alcohol yet alone drive 90 while fighting with GF without killing yourself or anyone else.

Probably the end for him. UDFA. Very good career.

@JasonLaCanfora: MRI confirmed torn Achilles for Arian Foster. Done for the season and generally a 6-9 month injury. Quite possibly ends his time in Houston.

Not an injury but a good spot for this....

When Ryan Mallett wakes up, he’s going to be so pissed.

What an F'in idot. Way to piss away your career.

"One should never underestimate the importance of a functioning frontal lobe," said Jeff Janis. 

 

That Twitter page no longer exists

I was under the impression that Goalline screwed up the link.

Didn't Mallet have character issues coming out of college?

 

Another nail for O'Brien.

Yeah, sorry boss, Fedya is right. I screwed up.

It's not the first time, and won't be the last.
