Damn.  Hopefully he is back for the playoffs… Rousseau and Epenesa have to step up bigtime. It’s on them until Von gets back.

A torn meniscus means what? Out 4-6 weeks? Anyone know?

Did they say it’s torn?

Nah just curious what timeline is if that's the case as it seems like worst case scenario

No ACL tear. Thank God. Shut him down and get him ready for the playoffs.

I imagine it depends on how they want to treat it and what kind of tear

Could be 2-3 months.

If surgery, yes. If not, he could be back for the playoffs.

 

Sounds like he is definitely needing surgery and it will all boil down to whether he can push it to the off-season. Either way he will and should be shut down in the near term

I'll spare you having to watch the press conference. Here's McDermott's answer: "yeah, he's going to miss some time. I'll say he's week-to-week."

Surely we will have more clarity after a Sean McDermott press conference.

I think it depends on the degree.

Depending the amount of damage, even with surgery he could be back for the playoffs.

Depends. If they repair a torn meniscus he will be out for the season. If he gets it removed, he will probably be out 6 weeks. 
 

he should be able to play on it even if it’s torn assuming he doesn’t have a bucket handle tear (essentially the meniscus tears and folds on itself…painful and prevents knee from straightening)

Maybe Jerry Hughes can ask Houston for his immediate release!

[SCBills]

I’m pretty sure being a Bills fan this year has successfully prepared me to become an orthopedic surgeon.

So week to week means not season ending injury?
