Doc Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Game 11 Jaguars or week 11 Bengals? I think Yolo said bring him back after the bengals game, practice that week and play for the Jaguars game, at least going by the 8 week thing. Game 11, week 12. So Jaguars. But probably can let him rest for another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Dude. You're a dick. (Sry mods...but I think it had to be said) Probably, but in this instance it would be more accurately stated that I just don't have any use for useless or ****ty people. And if you're willing to be honest with yourself, neither do you. Edited October 12, 2016 by TakeYouToTasker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Hmmm this says he only needs be on IR for 6 weeks https://www.google.com/amp/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/03/23/rule-change-could-add-strategy-to-bringing-a-player-back-from-ir/amp/?client=safari Literally everything else says 8 weeks Edited October 12, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Seeing as how that is a bye week, and I think too soon for IR rules?..... you aren't doing too hot so far. well at least he'll show up on the stat sheet the same as the first two weeks.

YoloinOhio Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Ok, this was from the day he was place on IR @nickveronica Sammy Watkins will be out at least 8 weeks, able to return for Nov. 27's Jacksonville game. @prescottrossi Sammy Watkins will miss at least the next 8 weeks. That would put him back for their Week 12 game with the Jaguars on November 27th. Edited October 12, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Anyone know who stepped on his foot in practice and if he wouldn't have been put on IR if that didn't happen? Seems like that incident played a factor in him being on IR. Rob Ryan. That's why he's out for 8 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manther Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'm finding the number of successful small business owners who spend a lot of time on this board and who are eager to talk about their success to be alarmingly high, given what I know about successful small business owners.Well played. It does seem to be high. I tend to think most people who say how great they are USUALLY aren't. There are exceptions like Rickey Henderson and Ali.

Is what you know that most of the posters on TSW are ripping off their employer by playing on TSW when they are being paid to work...........therefore keeping said business owners in financial stress.........unable to determine exactly where the inefficiency lies.....too consumed with worry to post on TSW? Or maybe you just don't know as much as you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Bill Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Gotcha. Thanks. Sal is on WGR right now saying surgery is still on the table, it's just that they have decided not to pursue it right now. They want to see if rehab and other things can heal back to 100%...if it doesn't work out, he'll still get the surgery. He said it's not necessarily looking good that he will return late in the year. They are obviously trying alternatives to surgery to give him a shot at returning this year. If they wait to have surgery down the road, won't impact his return for training camp next year anyway. Dude has about a 2" long screw in his foot. An article by a doctor suggested the hardware itself can cause pain. I think they need to do the surgery to get that thing out of there or he has no prayer of being himself. The foot is a pretty complicated device with 26 bones, all moving around as you jump/run etc. How can a pro athlete who relies so much on his foot NOT be bothered by a screw in there?

Yeah he can get the surgery in a couple months and still expect to be back well before training camp so there isn't necessarily any rush into surgery. The Bills IR'd a good LB early many years ago.......believe it was Crowell.........and he was furious and insisted he could come back........and he ended up leaving the team very acrimoniously. It's possible that they just don't think it's worth getting in a p*ssing match over rushing him to surgery even if it's a remote chance that he returns.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 So what the report says is Sammy is being a baby? What is different between his foot now and what it was when they decided to put him through training camp? If he was in pain then why was he out there? Just a guess, but to a certain point with pain and a clean xray/CAT scan, you say "nothing really wrong, pain management". Pain escalates and maybe there's swelling, maybe you do an MRI or a nuclear bone scan or such and maybe you see unhealed stress fractures or the like and say "yeah, shut this down and heal it" I think almost all pro football players are playing with pain a considerable portion of the season, in addition to the "normal" can-barely-walk-on-Mon-Tues after the game, so there's a lot of judgement call involved. Dude has about a 2" long screw in his foot. An article by a doctor suggested the hardware itself can cause pain. I think they need to do the surgery to get that thing out of there or he has no prayer of being himself. The foot is a pretty complicated device with 26 bones, all moving around as you jump/run etc. How can a pro athlete who relies so much on his foot NOT be bothered by a screw in there? It's probably too soon to look at removing the screw. Where's our resident device guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 @scotthuff @ProFootballDoc Hey Doc, The news on Sammy is intriguing. Is week 12-14 actually likely for a return? @ProFootballDoc David J. Chao, MD Retweeted Scott Huff At this point I would say #SammyWatkins return this season is more in the possible category that probable classification.
