Damond Talbot Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 What do you think the NFL will do, with the case on Buffalo and Mario Williams for the injury of his wrist. I hope Mario takes responsibility and pays his fine. If not the Bills could have problems. What happens though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgbe Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Is the assumption that he was hiding an injury to ensure a healthy contract? I don't really get this investigation. Edited October 19, 2012 by markgbe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Ed Reed said on the radio he has a torn labrum in his shoulder and he has not been listed on any injury report. Will the Ravens be investigated as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This is why Belichick has pretty much taken to loading up his injury report with stuff tantamount to 'Deion Branch (cold sore), Tom Brady (stubbed toe).' Â League mandates that guys have to list what their weak/injured areas are, physically?! It's stupid. I don't really care what their rationale is. It's stupid.

All_Pro_Bills Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I am not clear why they even need to report injuries? To be fair to the opponent? For player 'safety'? So people can adjust their fantasy team line ups? Â My suspicion has always been that the true value is with bookies so they can factor in who might or might not play into the point spread. But then, the NFL says they don't condone gambling so that can't be true. Edited October 19, 2012 by All_Pro_Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yes Mario hid his injury by having the training staff wrap his arm in a cast. Â He didn't hide anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the Ravens be investigated as well? yes. They are now. What do you think the NFL will do, with the case on Buffalo and Mario Williams for the injury of his wrist. I hope Mario takes responsibility and pays his fine. If not the Bills could have problems. What happens though? Mario has said he did nothing wrong. He said he hurt it on a pre season game. If someone gets a fine, I think it's the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle flap Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Slap on the wrist I like what you did there.  HA! beat me to it.  More info and the NFL's statement: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2012/10/nfl-fines-bills-20000-for-not-reporting-mario-williams-injury.html  The Bills failed to list defensive end Mario Williams on the injury report while being treated for a sprained wrist. Williams commented publicly on Oct. 3 prior to Week Five games about how the wrist had been bothering him and limiting his effectiveness. Although Williams fully participated in practices and games after sustaining the injury, he should have been listed on the report with a wrist injury and fully participating in practice. Williams has been listed on the Bills' injury report with a wrist injury the past two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I thought the injury report was intended to broadcast to interested parties those players that stood some chance of missing a game. Now it's "everyone who has a boo-boo?" Â Â So does this mean that the Bills have to report Fitzpatrick's sore, weak arm every week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice of Truth Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I really don't get why they didn't put him on the list in the first place. It's not like it has been a big secret. Mario has openly talked about the injury in his press conferences. I mean, he has been wearing a full blown cast for a couple games. It's not like the Bills were running some covert mission to keep this a secret. Why wouldn't they just put him on the list? Way to go Bills. I don't think a $20,000 fine to Ralph will score any points for Chan hahs, especially for no apparent reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
