2014 Injury Thread

[GrimCoconut]

Shut him down for the year so he doesn't have any long-term damage. I wouldn't even play with that.

[Inqui]

Yeah, not like they're going for the division. I mean they are, but it's not worth risking his career to try and get into the playoffs at 6-9-1.

[allblackraven]

On unrelated note, Burfict is done, placed on IR.

First said to be a BMW and Audi, when Cam was in a truck and the other driver was in a Buick. Weird!

[ravensdfan]

Don't want to confuse anyone but the site you linked is the same site that has done the car accident hoax of QBs before. Notice how it says both legs were broken, same injury that always been used in the hoax stories.

Now Cam did get into a REAL car accident and the injuries are minor. Even the local news is reporting it so this was a real crash. His truck apparently flipped 4 times. Here's a link to a local news site here in NC.

yeah my bad. Odd though because the site I was originally on was legit and linked that in their report.

 

I am blaming lack of coffee for my mistake though lol

Derek Anderson showed he can win when Cam missed games earlier in the season. IF DA gets them to the NFC South title, great. If not, all well. Put Cam on IR and just let him rest for next season.

Jadeveon Clowney is expected to be sidelined for 9 months after having surgery. He'll likely be a candidate to open 2015 on the PUP list.

[MissK528]

Don't think I saw this one covered here, but the news for Eric Berry has been confirmed - he does have cancer.

Broncos lose RB Montee Ball to a groin injury, placed on IR.

Michael Oher on IR.

 

To make matters worse, he'll prove to be a huge bust of a signing. Weird how we got criticized for letting him go and "not doing anything" to "upgrade" or "replace" Oher. Yet Wagner is doing fine and Oher... well PFF speaks for itself.

 

Pro Football Focus graded Oher as one of its lowest-rated qualifying tackles through Saturday, assigning him 26 QB hurries allowed.

Yeah, that criticism of our offseason was weird. Just goes to show that a good GM can see beyond how things look immediately.

Ryan Fitzpatrick broke his leg today. He's out for the rest of the season.

Playoffs or not this is Ozzie's finest hour. The fact that we are still in this says it all about the entire Raven adversity, we just re defined it. If we were in the NFC South we are locked in! Believe! They feed of you (us)!

Keenan Allen done? Broken collarbone and banged up ankle:

Likely done for the year then.  Collarbones take a while to heal and you can't play with a broken one.

[52520Andrew]

Manziel to IR, would source but on mobile

[Mt. Crushmore]

Cardinals QB Drew Stanton has had surgery for an infection in his already injured knee.  His ability to play in the playoffs is now in doubt.

Bad news guys.  Chiefs QB Alex Smith has a lacerated spleen, meaning he won't play this weekend against the Chargers.  The Ravens playoff hopes just took another hit.

I bet this is "coincidentally" the week a Chiefs WR scores a TD. Alex Smith holds his team back more than they realize. This wont be a big loss for them.

Have you seen Chase Daniel play?

Like Smith, our playoff hopes are out this weekend. I hope this serves as a lesson to the team for not handling their business when they needed to. 

[berad]

Saw the Smith news, sad but he's not a world beater. Jamaal Charles is questionable which is a bigger deal imo.

Any word on Bells status?

[Inqui]

Any word on Bells status?

Mike Tomlin said it's a hyperextension and it doesn't look like there's any ligament damage. He'll probably undergo some more serious testing over the next 24 hours.
