Ulnar nerve isn't anything to mess around with.  I had Ulnar nerve entrapment and it basically makes it feel like the backside of your arm is asleep, including your pinky and ring fingers.  You get the numbness and pins and needles thing going on. Would definitely impact your ability to grip and throw of a football like normal.

I did too- all it took was a few stretching exercises to free it and all was well after a week.

Wait, Josh is in a comma and has lost all ability to communicate? Nooooo!!!!!!! 

Is this like a coma, but shorter?

Well, i’m definitely in the camp of hoping for the best but expecting the absolute gut punching worst.  I am mentally preparing myself.

I remember us having this exact conversation in 2018. People were freaking out about Allen needing Tommy John surgery and saying we needed to draft a 1st round QB in 2019. The most likely outcome of a UCL sprain is he misses anywhere from 1-6 games. QBs don't get Tommy John surgery.

If it’s near 6 weeks pack it in for this season. If it’s 3 or 4 weeks we will be fighting for our playoff life.

Mine is still jacked.  I have to get an injection once a month in my elbow to basically keep it lubed up.

That's a bit extreme. Case Keenum is a very capable backup, and we have arguably the easiest part of our schedule coming up.

 

We'd still be in contention after 6 weeks, even if JA couldn't play that whole time.

Speaking of jacking and lube, Josh will have to lay off that for awhile.

Better to be in a comma than a colon. 😎

Serious question bc I don't even know what the hell a ucl is. If QBs never get surgery, does it just end up healing on its own? Or something he'll have to deal with the rest of the year or even career? Can you get back to 100% without surgery?

Pretty much, I am fully preparing for hockey season full tilt because if this is really bad news, there is no way, and I mean NO WAY I will be able to watch a single NFL game the rest of the year. I already feel sick to my stomach and have not turned the tv on since the loss.

You think Keenum would survive with no running game?

 

I’m not being extreme at all.

Eh I think we can sneak in as a wildcard even if he misses 6 weeks.

Thanks Quessenberry....our OL has been trash for 3 years while clappy keeps taking those high picks/ FA on D.  Brilliant strategy,  what could possibly go wrong.

Am I correct in understanding Josh’s condition is terminal?

Wait, Newman died?

I think Injuries are going to derail this season unfortunately. I don’t remember a season with so many. The more & more I think of it, last season was our window for the Super Bowl. The bad luck this team has faced with injuries to key players is absolutely ridiculous. I’m really hoping I’m wrong and this team can overcome the extreme adversity they’ve faced this year, but it’s not looking good. Our run defense issues from last year are starting to resurface and we’re lacking a true playmaker other than Diggs. I used to get so annoyed by the OBJ fan boys, but I’m starting to think this is the right move.

With the exception of maybe Detroit, there is not anyone on the schedule in next six weeks that I would even pencil in a win even w/ Josh although healthy Josh I think we win more of them than lose.  With Keenum, I only give us 60-40 with Detroit and we are going 1-5 there.

I’m calling my shot here I think he is fine and these are just precautions. There would be a heck of alot more leaking out at Ones Bills Drive if they feared the worst. Even Chris Mortensons follow up tweet suggested there isn’t much panic on this one anyway.

I think we all knew last year was the year...easy contracts, no injuries besides White and Allen putting up historic playoff numbers. Wednesday is going to be the darkest day since Super Bowl XXV
