[TheBrownBear]

Not sure about the source.  Has this guy ever broken big news before?

Hoping to be back sure…actually being back…c’mon man…miss one game??? Yeah ok

It’s plausible because the mini-bye will give him 2 weeks.  It’s a matter of either he can play on it with a brace, or he can’t

My point is even IF he were able to go and cleared why not let him get even better for the stretch run.

Really? The division is all within two games and you want to rest a HOFer just because?

At this point, I don’t bring Von back until the Cinncy game. Let him get as healthy as possible. If we cant beat the Jets at home and the Bears, we have much bigger issues. 

No way do you rest him vs Miami if he can play

Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

 

 

It’s FAR less expensive and time consuming than a medical degree!!!

Might have been one of there subsidiaries.

[CEN-CAL17]

I think he means back on the field…. 
 

wouldn’t be surprised with how the staff treats injuries is if they ask Von to stay low off his feet for 7-10 days. Then if cleared, do some rehab physical therapy, get used the the injury, be comfortable in playing with the discomfort and pain…. All while wearing a brace.

 

That said maybe the Miami game but probably week 16 vs Chicago 

 

Hes needed for the playoffs. I’m saying he misses 2 games, probably 3.

I chuckle at posts like this.  Does anyone think the Bills will allow Von to play unless he is not at risk of injuring himself further?  Whenever that is, it is…

Right? Posters on a random board know more than doctors, coaches etc. lol. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

That’s terrific. 
 

“it does need to be addressed” sounds like a clean up surgery is imminent in the offseason, likely with a quick recovery. In the mean time it’s all pain management and asset protection. 
 

Excellebt outcome to a ***** situation.

Pretty much sounds exactly like what Ian Rappaport said from the get go the following day. “Will have to have surgery in offseason and see if he can play through it in the meantime”

Rappaport nailed the Josh Allen injury too always being the most insistent that he could still play against the Vikings.  Schefter needs to step up his game.

 Did the source say anything about OBJ playing against the Jets too.

I think the this is the guy that broke the Von Miller FA signing so seems legit.

[Joe Ferguson]

He'll at least get double or triple teamed which will free up the othe D linemen to get to the QB.

I’m not a doctor and I don’t know all the details of Von’s injury, but the meniscus tear isn’t going to get any better by not playing. It’s simply going to stay the same until surgery.

So if the bills think they need him now, then play him. Or they can save him for their more important games to prevent further injury. 

[TheFunPolice]

If that meniscus only has 3 games in it then I'd rather they be playoff games. 

[Virgil]

What does that guy know?  We take the word of people on podcasts now?

If Von misses a game that means McD will hold him back for three games while Von “picks up the mental reps of the defense”

Idk why I put the 😂 emogi on your post. I’m sure you’re correct. McDermott has cost the team at least a game in the standings with his over-protectiveness. Key players unavailable for Thanksgiving game are fresh as daisies at Monday practice? Shame on you, Sean.🤨😡

Obviously, you haven’t stayed at a Holiday Inn Express lately. 😲$$

[HardyBoy]

I think people hear meniscus and immediately feel much better. First there are still a bunch of bench marks to hit before he can even think of getting back on the field, and those aren't necessarily linear. 

 

Also, if they do need to trim away a part of his meniscus, that doesn't grow back. The meniscus is the padding between the top of the knee and the bottom. That goes away you have bone on bone... it's what people get micro fracture surgery for in an attempt to avoid knee replacements.

 

You don't need to be a doctor to know this stuff or to share facts that can be found on webmd, granted I would love to hear someone with more understanding than me share the potential issues of the injury. 

 

Stop minimizing a potentially serious injury.

 

Also, really wild how people are so into other people risking life long debilitating pain so they can say their team finally won a sports ball trophy. I know I'm a hypocrite because I'm watching, and it's going to get to a point where I stop (probably after they win that damn sports ball trophy that I somehow wrapped way too much of my identity around).

 

He's a person though, doesn't matter at all how much he makes. Would you let your kid rush back from a meniscus injury?

Good news tinged with jeopardy. If when the swelling goes down Von tries and can't go then he will likely go to surgery and that is him done for the season.
