At some point, it might be easier to just ask which NFL players are not playing through muscle tears. In fact, this is starting to bug me. First it was Aaron Rodgers playing through a calf tear. Then it was Peyton Manning playing through a quad tear. Not to be outdone, Giants WR Odell Beckham just revealed that… Read More »
Anyone else out there fascinated with the ongoing drama of Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict and his bum knee? No? Well, aside from an increasingly-ridiculous Patriots story, there’s not a ton else to really talk about. In case you don’t remember, Vontaze Burfict’s knee first showed up on the injury radar back in October. Before week 9, Burfict underwent… Read More »
Much like with my piece on Richard Sherman, I’m pretty much just here to back up the current speculation that Seattle’s secondary is going to be just fine for the Super Bowl. In yesterday’s win over the Packers, DB Earl Thomas dislocated his shoulder. More accurately, he most likely subluxated his shoulder, meaning that it was either a… Read More »
Any and all Seattle fans had to have been terrified yesterday when Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman injured his elbow in the win over Green Bay. Well, you can relax. From everything I read and see in my own database, this is no big deal. He’ll be fine… or at least mostly fine. Throughout Monday, we had a few… Read More »
No doubt that by now you’ve heard plenty about about Aaron Rodgers and his calf muscle. If you have not (and I envy you) here’s the latest breaking news: Packers QB Aaron Rodgers’ calf muscle has a slight tear in it in addition to be significantly strained, per… http://t.co/EHDVeLczQv — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 8, 2015 I’m used… Read More »
I always lead with too much fluff, so I’ll get right to it. I see a possible monster day for Seattle, particularly for Marshawn Lynch. With my narrow focus on injuries, I feel like I sometimes notice things that others do not. (Of course, I miss plenty that others see, so there’s that too). In this week’s Carolina… Read More »
I’m always amazed at how often I find reporters painting an optimistic picture based on one interview or soundbite that could be taken either way. Such is the case today with Bengal’s LB Vontaze Burfict. (Side note, I love that name, he totally sounds like an awesome Muppet.) Burfict has a knee injury that sidelined him after week… Read More »
It’s probably just me, but I wouldn’t even know that it’s Monday if I wasn’t sitting around waiting for NFL injury clarifications. Typically teams are pretty tight-lipped with injury information following the Sunday games, or in this case the Saturday games. By Monday though, a fairly reliable stream of information comes out, as details of x-rays and MRIs… Read More »
