injury updates:

Yeah, but it is an additional limitation. It makes it very hard for Pepp to engage and shed, and also complicates some of his possible rush moves.

 

Depends on the type of break, guessing though since he is going to use a soft cast that it's the hairline type.

3-6 weeks under normal conditions if that is all it is. The bye week will help a lot.

 

it does. Tackling is the immediate thing that came to my mind though.

He did blow by Butler on the last drive. Of course Butler was singled up, and is a rook. And a speed rush he won't need that hand I don't believe when he wins the corner. It will be different when he engages.

Maybe it will make him take more angle speed rushes rather than all the dancing he is prone for.

 

I wanted to see him in on 4th and 6" if only to occupy a couple of people.

 

Sometimes an injury like Pep's make guys play harder...was it Eric Davis who played with a broken hand for a while?

I wonder if it was when he caused the fumble that he hurt it?

Pep should be full strength for the play-offs though.

Morgan's injury sucks. He could be ready at game time and then not be able to finish for the rest of the season. If he plays, it'll probably be limited action. I like that part about the team's medical staff is still evaluating Morgan's status and are considering different rehabilitation options.

Looks like everybody else should be healthy against the Vikes.

 

Anyone heard what degree the shoulder separation was? I wish we had the option of going ahead with his surgery and having him fully healthy again later, but I don't think there's enough time left in the season. He'll have to play through it, which is more or less impossible for a MLB unless it's just a first degree separation.

 

I've had my shoulder dislocated...no surgery required. Hurts like a bitch for a while but you really are just waiting for the swelling to go down. What is there to repair in a dislocation that requires surgery?

 

Roughly a month, give or take.

 

once it's seperated, the easier it is to get it seperated again

 

First, a shoulder separation and a dislocation are two separate injuries, so I screwed up earlier when I said "separation." Furthermore, the subsequent treatment is dependant upon the severity of the injury. If it's a first degree injury, you generally just need rest. Second and third degree injuries involve tearing of the ligaments in the shoulder joint.
