2016 NFL Injuries

[757RavensFan]

Well for those who wanted the Ravens to trade back and get Shaq Lawson, thank goodness we didn't. 

Looks like he'll be out for 4-6 months.

More bad news for the Bills - Sammy Watkins apparently had a surgery 3 weeks ago (broken bone in his foot):

Not expected back until after the training camp.

It's time to close the old thread. Hopefully this thread doesn't make two pages, but that's never likely.

You're right but, apologies - when I moved the Lawson news to this thread it changed the OP.

Oh I don't care. I just figured we needed a new topic. No worries!

You would think by now there would be a universal " Internet sarcasm font "

Image all the confusion that would clear up.

Good point, im going to start using Italic for that.  That word even sounds sarcastic...

[Moderator 3]

or you could use this

Another first rounder hurt in JAX as Jalen Ramsey has suffered a "small meniscus tear". Second opinion is being done

Hopefully one other team has better luck with a 1st round pick this year.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Jags 7th rd pick DE Jonathan Woodyard of Central Arkansas tore his Achilles.

Titans OL Byron Bell dislocated his ankle.

Both out for the year.

Just use orange or brown as anything written in clevelands colors isn't meant to be taken seriously

Yeah, that could work

[K-Dog]

Serioulsy mod's.  Can we make it an unwritten rule that sarcasm must be in orange?

Wait.... I don't see a button for color.

 

Dang.  That would have been fun.

[Moderator 3]

just use the big A to choose color and, no, we're not going to require sarcasm in orange.  Our newbs wouldn't get it anyhow.  

[allblackraven]

In other news, Tyler Eifert's readiness for the season start has a question mark next to it:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000664609/article/bengals-te-tyler-eifert-to-undergo-surgery-on-ankle

"Minimal" procedure will require 3 months recovery. Considering he injured the ankle during Pro Bowl, this was a major fumble by Bengals.

But if we all started it on our own you would niether discourage it nor try to stop it?

He was my number one wish list player in the 2013 draft. If he could just stay healthy...

[GrimCoconut]

Eifert is nothing but an injury. Great prospect and a player with huge upside. Could've easily been the best TE in the league.

Finally an explanation of what is going on with Brandon Boykin. It's not good, career most likely over:
