This is where I wish we had Hollister over Gilliam.

Anyone know when a team has to place a player on IR in order for the next game they would have played (if not on IR) to count?

Pretty certain on Saturday preceeding game, ie: same timing if we were to call up a player from PS usually by 4pm preceeding a 1pm kickoff

That makes sense to me

 

So Bills have no motivation to tip their hand with IR or PS callups until Saturday Oct 30th, by which time they will have a lot of info on how Knox hand is healing.

This is where we find out if Beane & Co knew what TF they were doing when they kept Sweeney over Hollister.

Finally learns to catch the ball and then breaks his hand.  Sign Tebow and trade him for Hollister?

draft rhetoric........".....Exciting and ascending, Warring is still a relative newcomer to the game, but he has the size, speed and athleticism to become a versatile, high-impact player on the pro level. He has the competitiveness to handle run-blocking duties and the talent to line up in the slot..."


sounds good to me.

The mystery on Kahale Warring is why, for a 3rd round pick higher than Knox from the same draft, he's contributed so little.  We kvetched about Knox in 2019 and 2020, Warring makes him look prolific.

 

KW spent 2019 on Texans IR with a concussion (not usually a season ending injury, so probably a "stash") and the first 2 months of 2020 on IR before doing...not much.  7 targets in 7 games, 3 catches for 35 yds.  Waived at the end of 2021 camp.  Had the distinction of being waived by 3 teams in 10 days this Aug/Sept before the Bills signed him to their PS.  It sounds as though he's very raw, maybe more raw than Knox which is a scary thought.

That leaves us with just Tommy Sweeney for the time being. Hope he steps up. Wonder who comes up from the Practice Squad? Is it Quintin Morris or Kahale Warring? Warring is intriguing. He was taken the same year and same round as Dawson, but drafted higher. With us bringing him on our Squad post Training Camp - he was obviously someone Beane liked coming out. Wonder if he would have been taken instead of Dawson Knox if he were still on the board?

 

Warring was a similar type prospect back then but the issues he has had mean he hasn't had the on field development that Dawson has. I suspect what they do is not promoted anyone if Dawson is not going on IR and instead just use their free elevations for Warring and Morris while Sweeney starts. 

[First Round Bust]

also notice that Josh could have kept it and run that one in around the right-side of the D fairly easily, this was also our last scoring play, no points in 4th qtr despite moving the ball fairly well...the last play where Josh got stopped had no element of surprise and Simmons sold-out on it; RPO, tackle eligible, roll-to-the-right and run or throw,etc...sigh

I broke my hand a few years ago. Had to have 3 pins inserted as well. I never had a cast and was told to get moving it around immediately. I was good to go in 3-4 weeks with me exercising it constantly.
 

I separated the bones between my pinky and index finger in my hand.
 

Granted, I wasn’t catching balls from Allen, but was lifting weights and doing things normally again within 3-4 weeks. 

 

Exact thing happened to me some years back.  People always say "pins" but usually means screws.  I had 3 small screws implanted.

They're not going to IR him. IR is 3 games missed not weeks, which is too long for this injury. Dr. CHAO who I follow on twitter says there's a chance he could eb back in time for our next game vs. The Dolphins if not likely the following week.

 

Perhaps the Bills play it safe and sit him another gane, but it sounds like Dolpphons or the week after is likely.

The next three games are Dolphins, Jags, Jets.  I don't think we need to rush Knox back for those games.  IR him, let him recover fully, and let's see what Warring or Sweeney can do in the meantime.

Any complications?  Any screws loose?

Nope.  Dr. recommended leaving them in.  It's been 20 years now with no issues.  When I had the surgery I was playing a lot of guitar

back then (finger board hand) and he told me no "physical therapy" could be better than that.  He had me playing the next week.

 

Side note:  My company manufactured the screws and my best friend was the lead man for the area that made those particular screws!

I told him they better work after the surgery and they did.  LOL.

I really liked Morris' play at BGSU, he seems to replace the pass catching ability that we lose with Knox.  Warring is also intreaguing.  I also wonder if we see Gilliam lined up at TE?

This is from when he threw the pass for the 2 pt conversion
