[News] How Is Breshad Perriman Handling His Injury?

[The Purp]

Someone said Jacoby looked sad.....who cares. What he looked to me was a major waste of dollars by the Chargers....better them, then us wasting money. He wanted big dollars for being a returner. In this day and age...there are very few kick offs returned, and punts as well.

He was a favorite, but he made a choice....now he lives with it.

I'm sorry, but what are you talking about? Jacoby didn't leave for more money, he was released by the Ravens to make cap space.

[NCMan]

his "sprits" have been good? proofread

That would be something new. Thanks for the chuckle.

You do realize that he was cut by the team. He didn't leave for more money...

O baloney. Either his injury is much worse than expected or what we are being told, or else he is milking it for all it is worth. Since we really don't know him (like that jerk Kindle whome the media and the Ravens kept making excuses for), it is not easy to tell. All I know is that instead of bolstering an awful defensive secondary, the Ravens took this guy, who dropped passes in college while playing at a mid level school. How could the Ravens be fooled again (after Elam of course)? Two years in the last three that we have tanked our number one pick. Unbelievable.

[JoeyFlex5]

How could our scouting department miss this red flag (I found it on google). He has a condition, and Perriman's knees just buckle by walking. I mean he definitey fits the profile of being Ozzie's pick as far as being injured all the time, but we should not have leveraged our whole season on this young, inexperienced, and injured player: Oz messed up, and I think he knows it now- hopefully, he'll learn. Hopefully, he won't forget to draft us some cornerbacks next year regardless of taking the best player... http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/ucf-knights/os-ucf-breshad-perriman-nfl-draft-0430-20150429-story.html

once again you just neg and ignore instead of actually addressing the issue at hand. are you ever going to respond? or just continue to litter the boards with your ramblings?

[smiley4660]

Not a believable story, sorry. This can only be seen as a bust at this point. The picture of Perriman wearing a headset while catching footballs doesn't appear to show much desire to me either. May want to replace that photo...

you say we should have bolstered the secondary... ok, so name a single db on the board at 26th that was anywhere close to first round material, go ahead ill wait... 

 

and kindle is a jerk because he suffered from narcolepsy and fell down a flight of stairs? accidents happen, injuries happen, players miss time, its part of the game. yeah im sure a first round pick who everyone from UCF gave raving character reviews for, is just faking an injury to get a seasons pay and then calling it quits, that sounds likely. 

 

get real people, im appalled at some of the reactions i read to perrimans injury..

[RavensVAfan]

I've said it before. If he can come back and not make it worse he should. He needs the experience. He can't be a rookie next year.

[Bohica5]

"I think he wants to be out there" is literally the funniest thing i have read on this site......He wants to hand out towels.......and i now doubt he will never be an impact player for us or anyone ever!!!

[law215]

Ravens should play Perriman if possible. They need an evaluation on what he can do.

[reed20fence]

I guess we're not IR-ing Perriman because we hope to get a good sample size of his abilities this year before deciding how aggressively to pursue WRs in Free Agency and the draft next year.

My only concern with this startegy, if it is indeed what's happening, isn't with Perriman's current injury. It's what happens every other time during his career when he has strains in his ligaments in all different parts of his body? Will strains sideline him for months on end because his sinews just take forever to heal?

WRs with his build running as insanely fast as he runs are highly risky when it comes to bad landings and contourted catches. AJ Green has missed weeks on end multiple times just because he landed and slightly bent his leg the wrong way.

If Harbs says this is the slowest recovering PCL in all history, what happens the next time he strains a ligament? Or the time after that?

He could be an absolute beast and uncoverable when healthy for all we know. But it's not the talent we're questioning, it's the "when healthy" part.

All I know is this team has the worst luck in pro football. From the injuries to the domestic violence to the penalties to the refs ralphing on us (yes puking all over the team week to week). I know some teams are gonna have a bad run but this is getting weird.

[JoeyFlex5]

i also have a direct quote from you as my sig, saying kyle boller was a great qb and it was our OCs fault for his failures. THAT is the funniest thing i have read on this site.

Breshad Who?

[Purple&Black]

Pretty sure we can bring back jacoby for cheap now right? Fills two voids (although ross as been a decent returner)

To be fair, Darby had a first round grade and slide to the second if my memory serves me correctly. However, I agree. There wasn't any better talent left on the board. I just wish they had taken diggs over waller

[Adrian Charchalis]

What about jason avant???

[JoeyFlex5]

they definitely should have taken diggs, and yeah darby turned out quite good but he didnt have many first round grades, hes overachieving in relation to his draft projections. you can bet every last cent that marcus peters was 100% the ravens top target at that point, and when he was taken it was between bud dupree, perriman, or a trade back, and they really did take one of the best remaining players with perriman, there wasnt much talent on the board anymore at that point

Yeah, I agree with that assessment. Man having Peters would have given us another win or two.

[runcontrol]

Come back home, Jacoby.

 

If Steve Smith wasn't hurt I'd say no way, but with no real veteran receiver on the team,  I say why not.   And he can take over kickoff duties too.  For some reason I like Ross handling punts. 

[JoeyFlex5]

Yeah, I agree with that assessment. Man having Peters would have given us another win or two.

peters is a straight up stud and we all knew it, but im not sure a stud cb would have affected our season, our safety play and the lack of communication in the back end is by far the biggest problem, a majority of the big plays and long drives given up through the air have been due to our safeties blowing assignments and people not knowing what their job is. webb hasnt been all that bad this year and jimmy's lisfranc has affected him but with good safety play then im pretty sure jimmys only real failure would have been his TD he gave up to amari cooper. a safety and a DC and a pass rusher is what this defense needs far more than a cb

From what I read when Perriman went down, a PCL sprain can take weeks to heal, or it could be so severe that you need surgery.   He might be a slow healer, or the injury might be so severe that it's taking longer to heal.  Let's not forget,  he reaggravated it a few weeks ago, and that really set him back.

[power600]

Give Perriman a chance please.You fans are harsh!

Keenan Allen had a grade 2 PCL sprain in his final year in college in October. It took so long to heal that he missed the combine the next year, and he ran a 4.71 40 at pro day, which shows he obviously wasn't 100%. It did finally heal, however, and he's been playing well and staying on the field the last couple years, although he did get hurt against us. I think sometimes an injury can linger for whatever reason, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a guy is a slow healer overall. It could just be an isolated fluke. As far as I know, Perriman didn't have injury problems in college, so at this point, there's no reason to believe this isn't just a single, slow healing injury, as opposed to a chronic issue.

ravens have added 49ers wide receiver chuck jacobs to the team apparently

http://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2015/11/3/9667162/baltimore-ravens-add-former-49er-wide-receiver-chuck-jacobs

Yeah that's true, but I'm referring to the 49ers game for instance where they purposely targeted wright. Anyway, as they say, hindsight is 20/20

[HoldingCall]

Ravens should play Perriman if possible. They need an evaluation on what he can do.

He is currently wearing a knee brace, so no, don't play him until he is healed or you risk another setback. Evaluation can wait! 

[EdBallhawkReed20]

The best evaluation your going to get of Perriman is training camp. For obvious reasons you can't judge him on his play this season assuming he does because the time frame is too short. He would have to play at least 6 games to be fair and judge his quality as a player. According to this article he hasn't been practicing so I wouldn't expect amazing gameplay from him early on. The Ravens in my opinion still need to use their first round draft pick on a wide receiver. A big body wide receiver that can go up and make contested throws in one on one coverage. Joe Flacco throws touch passes and when they are not on the money. He will need the type of receiver that can make the plays Anquain did. I think the Ravens need to buck the trend of getting a veteran receiver this season unless Steve Smith comes back. After him no more because Joe Flacco will never build chemistry with his receiving core the way things are currently being done. Joe Flacco and Marlon Brown have no chemistry because we went out and got a veteran wide receiver. You can't expect things to pick up where they left off after a year of a player on the bench. Marlon Brown's breakout year was last year which the Ravens organization didn't show any faith in his talent. I'm not saying I don't like Steve Smith but you do have Michael Campanaro. True he gets hurt but he does make plays. He should at least be the no. 4 receiver for next year current roster if not no. 3. I look at the Ravens passing offensive struggles coming from one or two things... Either the receiver aren't that good or its the mentality of the qb. I think its honestly the latter because Joe Flacco targets one player way more than the rest of the team. One player shouldn't be targeted more times than the rest of the receiving core combined for a game let alone multiple. If their that bad everyone should be gone.I'm interested to see Joe with two first round draft picks at WR. At that point no excuses either he performs are we draft another QB...

[Halshayeji]

I've said it before. If he can come back and not make it worse he should. He needs the experience. He can't be a rookie next year.

Bingo!

I don't even understand why people are calling for him to be IRd. If he can get 2 games without risking injury, it'll do wonders for his confidence and preparation heading into next year. That's why he's on the squad and that's why the Ravens are being extremely cautious with him because it's a marathon not a sprint.

[Halshayeji]

To be fair, Darby had a first round grade and slide to the second if my memory serves me correctly. However, I agree. There wasn't any better talent left on the board. I just wish they had taken diggs over waller

I can't believe we passed up on diggs. My guess is that Mark Trestman made that call. He's literally addicted to big bodied WRs thinking he can teach them everything but can't teach size.

Diggs may have been a bit slower in his 40 and smaller in size. He was the better route runner and certainly has a bigger heart and desire to succeed.

I'm disappointed because we should have known better than anyone that heart is undervalued. Diggs was in our back yard and SSS set the blueprint but we still chose size over desire.

Not tacking a shot at waller as he was picked a round later than diggs. He is a developing guy with a higher celling. It just hurts to watch a Maryland guy that was begging to come here flourish somewhere else when we passed on him 7 times in that draft.
