K D Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Ty Powell just got carted off the field during 11 on 11's. Seems to be in a lot of pain. Not good Chris Brown @ChrisBrownBills 29m29 minutes agoLB Ty Powell getting carted off. Was visibly in a lot of pain on field. #Bills Vic Carucci @viccarucci 29m29 minutes agoLB Ty Powell is down being tended to by trainers. Holding right knee. Being carted off. #Bills-#Browns Sal Capaccio @SalSports 2m2 minutes agoBills fans need to hope Ty Powell isn't as serious as it looked. If it is, AJ Tarpley would be the next man up in that spot behind 52/53 As per Rex, it looks like it might be a torn ACL which would mean an end to his season Edited August 18, 2015 by kdiggz
YattaOkasan Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 IK might be a really big pick up if this is serious.
LeGOATski Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 IK might be a really big pick up if this is serious. He's supposed to back up Hughes. Did he ever play ILB for Rex?
Rubes Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 IK might be a really big pick up if this is serious. Different positions, I think. Powell was the main backup for the ILB spot, IK is backing up the OLB/DE spot.
Blokestradamus Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Don't worry. AJ Tarpley will save us all.
K D Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 Don't worry. AJ Tarpley will save us all. He's good but is he ready as a rookie to jump right in there? The backup ILB will see significant playing time this year
YattaOkasan Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 My bad. Thanks for the correction/education. Sheesh now I'm more worried. I might need to borrow Yolo's avatar.
Blokestradamus Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 He's good but is he ready as a rookie to jump right in there? The backup ILB will see significant playing time this year He's a smart guy, well disciplined. I trust him if he has to play.
johnwalter Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 injury bug taking an uptick this last week, damn
Matt in KC Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Bring back Rusty Jones! Someone had to say it. Someone always does....
John from Riverside Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I feel really bad for....and especially linebackers when knee injuries happen like this.....it just hits too close to home. I hope Powell can make a full recovery and make it back to 100 percent......get well soon! Next man up
Blokestradamus Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Looking at free agents and Akeem Jordan seems to be available. He was highly thought of by a few not so long ago. Going down the youth route, I liked Andrew Jackson at WKU. Cut by the Colts after a year, just your classic Mike thumper. Edited August 17, 2015 by Blokestradamus
Kirby Jackson Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Spikes?? I would think that he would be a consideration
CountryCletus Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Different positions, I think. Powell was the main backup for the ILB spot, IK is backing up the OLB/DE spot. Wasn't IK the intended replacement for Wynn?
nucci Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 IK might be a really big pick up if this is serious. He can't replace Powell as backup LB Bring back Rusty Jones! Someone had to say it. Someone always does.... Does he play LB?
BobChalmers Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 IK is Hughes' backup. He's almost exclusively a pass-rush guy. Wynn was Mario's backup.
K D Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 let's wait and see what they say about Powell before we get too crazy. i think AJ Tarpley can fill in for a few weeks. but if Powell is out for the season then maybe they try and get another vet like Spikes also, how about Steward the 6th round pick? how has he looked?
Blokestradamus Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Can we panic now, kdiggz? @MatthewFairburn Rex Ryan said Ty Powell has a possible ACL injury. Fear is that it's of the season ending variety.
