JohnNord Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 I don’t get it... he goes from not being on the injury report to not practicing for 3 straight weeks. No word on any injury.

No word on any injury. FIFY What's not to get? Players sometimes develop injuries that aren't immediately apparent during the game or even the next day. They're all sore as hell after the game and sometimes in pain, this is considered normal It's not until the pain would normally subside but doesn't, or until it worsens the following day, that an injury sometimes becomes apparent. The team is not required to report those injuries until it practices and McDermott appears to be a firm believer in the "loose lips sink ships" philosophy of injury reporting. 22 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Nothing a little Silvadene wouldn't cure...

MJS Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Man. It would suck to be down White AND Wallace. I was happy with what Norman did on Sunday, but I sure don't want him as our CB1. Let's hope these extra days before the game allow him to get healthy.
YoloinOhio Posted October 10, 2020 Author Posted October 10, 2020 Just a walk through today so no media will be there. Mcd hasn’t talked since Wednesday, usually does on Fridays before Sunday games so it might not be until tomorrow that we know anything about Tre situation. We will get an injury report, though, and per Chris Brown it will have the normal Friday game designations.
GreggTX Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 It sounds like some of us are overlooking the Titans. I sure hope the Bills aren't making that mistake! We will be handed our heads if we do, especially with all the injuries piling up. Some of you are talking like this somehow is not a 3-0 team that just made a deep playoff run. This will be our toughest test to date. We need to start putting teams away in the 2nd half instead of letting them back in the game. We'll need our run game as well as our passing game working as well as containing the reigning leading rusher from 2019. 1
Mr. K Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Is it that crazy to think that maybe Tre doesnt feel safe playing the Titans? He was on the fence about playing this season to begin with. 1

They have beaten three bad teams, and they were losing to Jacksonville and Minnesota in the second half, so there’s that. Plus the fact that they haven’t had a formal practice in 12 days, and don’t know how many of their players will miss the game. 1

So are the Bills, but no one should ever look past a well coached team.
Dablitzkrieg Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 He didn't practice again today. I'm betting he's out Tuesday
Process Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 It's becoming more and more likely it's not an injury at all. Hopefully we get some answers from McD tomorrow. If tre is that concerned about COVID he should have just sat out the season instead of playing these games. He's not the only one in the league with young children. Even if he's not going to play, guy is just a no show at practice all week? Every other injured player was at least with the team. And we have 0 reason to believe he's hurt so bad that he can't even stand around during practice. If it is what it smells like it's a bunch of bs to be honest.

Really? Coaching goes beyond X's and O's. If they truly were "well coached" we'd be playing them Sunday under normal conditions and getting ready for a battle of undefeated teams against KC on Primetime TNF. Instead teams like the Bills are getting screwed schedule wise while the NFL continues to accommodate the embarrassment that is the Titans for not following protocol. 1 1

What smells like a bunch of BS is all this groundless speculation. Present your evidence that makes it "more and more likely it's not an injury at all", or just quit with the conspiracy theories. Sometimes players do have injuries where they maximize their chances of healing by doing other things than stretching or riding a bike on the sideline. You have 0 reason to believe that he doesn't have an injury that is best treated by some other activity during that time - hyperbaric chamber, float tank, cryo, even seeking a 2nd opinion or getting an MRI. The rehab facilities are harder to schedule now too since occupancy is limited and they have to be decontaminated between users. Usually we hear about such injuries, but McDermott is definitely of the "loose lips sink ships" school. 25 minutes ago, Dablitzkrieg said: He didn't practice again today.

Yeah I think they could have said “personal” and avoided any questions.. well they could have gotten questions but didn’t need to answer them ... but they didn’t Edited October 10, 2020 by YoloinOhio

No worries on the overlooking thing, Sean and the coaches will be in every plays ear making them fully aware what’s at stake, that and it is a fan thing to be concerned with, all the players know damn well they can’t take any team lightly. It will be a hard fought win for Buffalo. Go Bills!!!

Questionable is honestly always a good sign Doubtful is when they're definitely not going to play usually
