Totally sucks.

I Like Ike.  Bad news for us, I assume - will this be season-ending IR?

If it is a fully torn archilles, he’s done for the year, and could likely miss time next year. 

[CSBill]

That is too bad. He has been playing well lately.

[TailgateChef]

His foot was flopping around visibly.  It was clearly torn.  Poor guy.

Yep. The RB Cam Akers for Rams tore his in July and he just came back this week.

Too bad, Ike was starting to play well. Bates showed up thankfully.

Even a partially torn Achilles will be out for the season and require surgery.

Is that what dished Shawne Merriman, that he needed the surgery but didn’t get it or delayed getting it?

How likely is it that guys come back from it?

You don’t play football on a partially torn Achilles tendon. It would be idiocy. A lot of players have come back from them after surgery, but the movement of an offensive lineman or a defensive lineman really does not lend itself to playing with that kind of injury.

I didn't see flopping at all. Also no roll up in the pants, likely not complete. That said that is gonna hurt and he's likely done for the season.

All the best in your recovery Boat Anchor.

[MJS]

Crazy. It just looked like he was standing there when it happened. Didn't take much.

Meatball was super human...he was my fave from that era along with Freddie

[Fixxxer]

those non contact injuries suck. Wish him a speedy recovery. 

[Scott7975]

That sucks for him.  He was playing well.  The whole line played their best game today IMO.  Hope for a good and speedy recovery for him.
