Dorkington Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I was about to say that looks like a torn ligament, and it appears to be ACL... usually a non contact collapse is a reeeeealllllly bad sign.
Lurker Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Whaley better get all of his picks signed...seems like he's dragging his feet a bit relative to many other teams.
Maury Ballstein Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Jags are cursed. Blaine Gabbert, Justin Blackmon, Fowler. Tough break for #3 pick.
3rdand12 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 "He’s being evaluated. We’ll know more tonight," Bradley said. "I didn’t really see what happened – it happened off to my side." Offensive line coach Doug Marrone was questioned about the incident to which he replied "I didn't know he was even out there". Hilarious Wiz !! A Saint would need to perform a miracle for this kid............... ouch
Augie Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Torn ACL out for the year per ESPN That really sucks. Period.
dave mcbride Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 It's obviously bad for Fowler and the Jags, but an ACL tear is simply not that major of injury anymore except for the time lost. It's not as bad as a cartilage injury anymore, and the recovery time is now often 8-9 months to full health if it's a clean tear. I expect he'll be fine.

Yeah in the grand scheme of things these type of injuries are no big deal anymore other than having a lengthy and painful rehab...
eball Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Feel terrible for Fowler...not so much for the Jags. Seriously, I hope they go 0-16 as I'd like to see everything Marrone has his hands in implode. Fowler will have his surgery and be ready to go by the offseason, so hopefully it's but a blip in the beginning of his NFL career. Very glad to see that he will still get the contract he deserves at that draft slot.
aristocrat Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 The jags needed that guy on the defense. I wonder if Blackmon ever plays again? It's like one step forward....two back.

Offensive line coach Doug Marrone was questioned about the incident to which he replied "I didn't know he was even out there". Obviously... Didn't he make the exact same statement about a D player early in the season? I can't recall the specifics, but that guy's stupidity is completely mind blowing. forgetting the fact that the Bills have a real coaching staff now, just losing DM probably earns us 2 additional wins this year.

The Wiz Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 oops At least I know my reporting skills are on par with the onion.
Talley56 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 So does this mean Chip Kelly is going to trade for him?
