PortisBetts Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Man, this really blows. I hope he comes back next season full strength. He has been an animal. Him and Ioannidis have really helped transform the D. Another year, another 1st rounder out for the year....really blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswerdlw Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Well, I'm almost right for once (ask my wife, and she will confirm that I'm never right). We signed A.J. Francis to practice squad. I wonder if that means we're calling up Brandon Banks to the 53 man roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I support shelving him. Hopefully, he comes back and they’re just being very conservative. Maybe this is the Strasberg treatment. Sucks he got hurt. Better not to take long term chances with his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKskins Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Kerrigan, Scherff and Silverback are the only first rounders we have had this decade to survive their rookie season. I know we missed a couple of drafts as a result of the RG3 trade, but we've had 6 first round picks and 3 of them have got hurt (albeit RG3 was in the playoffs not regular season) - and even worse they don't just get injured - they get monster injuries. RG3 blew his knee out, Doctson had some kind of season-ending leprosy or something, and now Jon with this. Brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo'sRangers Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 This sucks but we will find out how good our depth is in short order. I am really more concerned about our kicking game now as that is a crucial component in winning games. BTW, AJ Francis was signed to our practice squad. It is going to be an interesting ride.

Taylorcooley1 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 This is most certainly very unfortunate,..damn..ya just...uggh ya wanna see what ya get with most especially your first round pick...excited,pumped..got a good feeling..and of course any other pick Ya make in the draft ur excited to see how they pan out(Chris Thompson)than something like this happens and it feels horrible..like a deflated balloon..before I go much further, hope all goes well for ya Allen..here's to the most important thing, a healthy recovery to ya!... Now...I'll continue beating the drum saying Next Man Up!!..if it's a complete decline in the play of our d line and it shows than there's reason to be concerned..for the season..now does with him being ruled out for the season mean it's that severe and they know it will take an extensive amount of time to fully recover? Or is the team playing it safe by not taking the chance of flirting with disaster by rushing him back knowing he's out just for the near(ridiculous type of super man recovery)future?...welp here's to looking forward to seeing the next...hahh few men(forgot about Hopkins)stepping up and doing everything they absolutely can TO GET US THE GOD DAMN WIN IN PHILADELPHIA!!..and other games of course lol!!

Looking at the roster and injuries I think we sign a DB and just dress all our DL for the moment. A couple weeks ago we only dressed four WR and I think that could be the way we go until the OL and DBs heal up some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunter Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Any chance we can get a NY judge to temporarily stay the injury? That kinda crap seems to work for other teams....sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas didn't come back that season, it's often six to eight weeks even without surgery. I'll go with an NFL Orthopedic Surgeon: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000281549/article/nfl-orthopedic-surgeon-lisfranc-foot-ailment-is-bizarre-injury 1b) If you interpreted what I said as career-ending as opposed to season-ending, then I can see where we disagree. 2) Totally agreed about Allen's work ethic. He knows what it's like to drop more than a dozen spots simply due to the possibility of a shoulder injury, so I think he would work harder than most to get back as soon as possible. I did read it as you were implying career ending. Thanks for clarifying. I agree season ending and I am really glad they are shutting him down instead of asking him or letting him try to play through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Banks weighs like 140, but if he can still run a 4.2 40 maybe he can just run around the whole OL. In all seriousness, huge loss, him and Ioannidis were really gelling. Next man up.

Voice_of_Reason Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It always seems one unit gets hit hard with the injury bug. For years the OL couldn't stay healthy. Then we started losing WRs like flies. Now it seems as though it's almost the entire defense. If Bree, Allen and Norman are all out, that's three of your 5 best players on defense out. (Kerrigan and Swearinger being the other two). thats a TOUGH blow to the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 A couple reliable guys on Twitter (Schefter, Russell) are saying that he'll be designated for return, maybe Week 16 or 17. Needs a screw in his foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I had a screw put in my left middle finger from a football injury. True story. Bent the tip of my finger backwards. Bone broke away from bone with the tendon still attached. Now, when I give people the finger with my left hand, I'm literally saying "screw you."
