I dunno, was it just swelling? Not a spine expert...

 

Well the doctor that saw him was, evaluated and released him.

Terrific news! I actually wouldn’t be surprised if he plays on Sunday though.

I bet he plays.

Thankfully he’s okay. I would imagine his neck is going to be pretty sore and wouldn’t count on him playing this week out of precaution. Gotta keep our eyes on the bigger prize at the end of the season.

Yes, but cleared to walk out of the hospital... I would think that is different than cleared to practice/play.

 

You mentioned spinal swelling.  I'm pretty sure that if he still had spinal swelling, he wouldn't be going home.

Im expecting Dane, Settle and Davis to play next week. Wild card is Oliver. If he starts the week with a DNP then I wouldn’t expect him back.

I don't think it was something he did with any intended malice or dirty i think he probably didn't know exactly how bad he could be hurt and giving the ass kicking the Titans were taken could have had something to do with it too .

 

Obviously he he didnt intend it. But you should not be touching another injured player period. Could have life altering consequences with neck type injuries. Even if it wasnt dirty it was still very dangerous and incredibly stupid.

Makes sense. But didn't know how quickly something like that can subside. Hours, days weeks...

 

Just like every injury, it's a case by case basis.  Some sprains last a week, some last 3.  Some ACL's have 5th month recovery times, some have 9.

Fantastic news - all sounds very positive and promising.

 

Very happy to hear it this morning.

 

[blacklabel]

That’s good news, that was a gnarly hit.

[RaoulDuke79]

Great news. Wishing him a speedy and full recovery and hope to see him on the field soon.

what a wuss.  no need for the ambulance or any of this.   he should have tapped an asprin to his helmet and gotten back out there.

He’s home and he walked out of the Hospital

Wow.  No way I would have thought having your head pushed back violently like a pez dispenser would allow you to walk out of a hospital hours later.  Strength and conditioning of the neck I guess.

I don't think he had any clue he was injured.  It was hurry up, and he was laying on the guy's legs.  Obviously not intentionally looking back, but that does happen a lot when teams try to delay the ball getting snapped to run more time off.

Yeah I agree.  I doubt he knew he was injured.  Just a heat of the moment reaction.

I wasn't aware that "Bills" requires an apostrophe.

I know the spell check did that.

Malice or not, it was stupid.  Dane was lying there curled away from the player, not making any attempt to hold him down.  He could have gotten his foot out (and probably more quickly) without throwing Dane aside like that.

 

He knew it right away, too.  Did you see Poyer shove him back, point at Dane and say something?   The guy just took the shove and stood there with a dumb look on his face like "oops".

 

I wouldn't be surprised if that little maneuver helped get the Bills that extra bit of "crunk" for the 3rd quarter, bad enough to have your brother get hauled off in an ambulance, worse if your opponent rag-dolled him while he was helpless on the ground.

I don't think he was malicious or dirty "oh the guy's injured and can't get up, lemme throw him around."  But guys who are trying to delay the opponent getting up position themselves differently and act differently.  Rook has to read the vibe.

Pez dispenser - that's a pretty good description - man that was scary!  

 

That he could be out of the hospital now after that is amazing - to be young and in top physical shape probably helped because I feel like that would have killed me...

Awesome news on Dane.  Don't even care if he's back this week.

I don't even care if he comes back to football at this point.

[SydneyBillsFan]

Thank God he's OK.
