So we will be seeing Elam

He better take advantage of it. Some players thrive on a situation like this. I guess we’ll see what he’s made of. He will have a great supporting cast.

It's downright negligent at this point.

 

 

Bad grass is worse than good turf.    Some teams used to share fields with baseball teams and that was the worst.

Cramps he is fine

 

Actually we don't know about Benford. He might still have a sig shoulder injury. 

 

Benford went back in.

the way these guys are talking it sure makes me think Tre might be done for the season. I hope not though. I’m still holding out very slim hopes.

Bad grass means guy slip and fall. Bad turf causes significantly higher non contact injuries. Facts available on that.

Achilles injury waiting on mri

meh. You can pretty well diagnose on field. I’d understand waiting to announce but he’d know before he’s even on the cart

Oh good. I skimmed this post about an injury to a key player and saw we’re already calling each other jerks. 
 

nice, gentlemen. Real nice.

This is it for Tre in a Bills uniform. 

With this injury and his contract he will be cut this offseason. So sad. 

2024 10 mil in dead cap. Saves 30+ on the books over the next two seasons. They’re at the point with other contracts (Allen Diggs Von etc) that this has to be the case.

Hate to see this.  The guy is a warrior and to get another really serious injury has to be gut wrenching for him.  Assuming he’s out this year, I’m wondering if he could be like a Rod Woodson and transition to safety next year.  I’m assuming Poyer won’t be back.

But what are you going to do about it? I think the only viable option may be to suffer thru it. Both in terms of cap and talent. I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of cap implication talk. Please feel free to enlighten me. This sucks for Tre, the team and the fans, but it’s a fact of life in the NFL. Ask Jets fans. 

I didn’t check if anyone replied but there’s an out in his contract after this year. $10m dead. But had a $16m cap hit so Bills would save $6m.

We pray it's not bad but it does not look good, end of the day White never regained his form since he first season ending injury and not many teams have a first round pick waiting as a replacement. I think Brandon Beane should look at a possible trade for a top quality CB,  way too many good QB's and receivers and Elam should get a shot but I don't believe Jackson is the answer if Elam cannot get it done.  Prays tonight for White

$16m is a lot to pay for a player that won’t play the whole year and may not be anywhere close to the same player when we’re up against the cap.

Bills can extend him to keep him stop he at a much lower number 

Gotta remember that Tre is just 28. At corner he had another 4 good years the way he plays 

[HurlyBurly51]

Bills confirmed its an achilles.

He's great in coverage but I worry about his tackling ability if he was moved to safety.

He knew when he threw his helmet

It really matters how other players perform. It’s a cruel business sometimes.

We know he came back in the game and played well, so at least there’s that.

It was pretty likely his last year as a Bill, it’s all but sure now.

Type of turf has nothing to do with Achilles tendon injuries. 
Achilles injuries aren’t caused by a shoe or foot sticking in turf. 
Achilles tears are caused by stress on the tendon during explosive movements. Sudden jumps or acceleration.
