BubbaT Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Does anyone have any information on the severity of his injury? I've been looking for info but have had no luck finding anything. I don't think anyone asked McD at the presser today about it either. He appeared to be fine during the Lions game and then all of a sudden he's in a walking boot thereafter. It seemed like he'd fill the Lee Smith blocking TE role but would be a better pass catching option than Smith was. They really have no one else that does that (I think Gilliam is too small for an in line blocking TE).

He probably wouldn’t get a meaningful answer though. Look at the “radio silence” around Diggs. I think Sweeney has shown a lot of promise, but he’s looking like a prime candidate for the moniker “boo-boo foot”

I think that one is even before the great Chandman. I believe his best strength is not blocking, but he has excellent hands and catches everything. Not the biggest or fastest, but dependable. A boot is not a guarantee of a problem. Id just wait as I’d love to see the kid do ok. Edited August 19, 2021 by machine gun kelly 1 1 1
FilthyBeast Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 I didn't see where Sweeney got hurt either but apparently is in a walking boot which is usually indicative of a serious injury. Seemed like he was having a decent camp/preseason so far but injuries look like they may derail his career here. 1

I've got a friend who used one for shin splints. Four days and no symptoms afterwards. He caught a lot of heat for a few weeks there from being called a wuss, though.

NewEra Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 Poor Mr. Sweeney. Looking like another year away from the game

From the Detroit game I am more encouraged by this because of his run blocking.

Big Turk Posted August 19, 2021 Posted August 19, 2021 They believe the previous injury was a Sammy Watkins special so it might need a second surgery to fix it again.
