Haven't heard anything on Kincaid from my source, but based on other reports this week it appears he is trending in the right direction. He was spotted in a normal jersey at practice, not a non-contact. If he clears the protocol I think we're fine with him and Morris and Gilliam. In fact I'll almost welcome the opportunity to see Kincaid get the routes and targets Knox has gotten. I want the ball funneled to more dependable players.

Thanks for sharing all the inside info!

 

I asked a couple Ortho friends and while neither is a podiatrist, both seemed shocked Groot would play through any broken/fractured bone in his foot.  W/o knowing the details, basically said it could certainly worsen playing though it/create a long term injury.

 

Hopefully turns out it's not a fracture

Dane Jackson apparently has plantar fasciitis. This injury is about pain tolerance and load management. Extremely painful actually but players push through it all the time. It explains why he didn't practice much but is not declared out for the game. If it feels okay during warm-ups he will play. I would guess if it turns into a blowout he will get pulled, no need to put stress on that injury anymore than absolutely necessary.

 

Knox took a helmet to the wrist against the Jags and reportedly tore a ligament in his hand/wrist. There is also apparently a fracture in that area. He has it braced up. He can play through the ligament damage with the brace, but usually a fracture in that area keeps players out 2-3 weeks out of caution (the bone in that area generally does not heal very well). My guess is that if he plays against the Giants it will be a lighter load than usual.

 

Appreciate the info, but where'd you hear this?

Daboll is smart. I expect a different offense with Tyrod starting, heavily run oriented. And Tyrod will be his usual risk averse self, so barring fumbles (which may very well happen), no INTs making life easy for the Bills. I do think they’ll run the ball effectively - having a running QB gives the Giants’ offense a lot more opportunities on the ground. 
The Bills should win, but if Tyrod stays healthy (a big if given how short his last starting opportunities lasted), I’m guessing the Giants keep the score respectable.

Plantar fasciitis sucks. It doesn't really go away until you rest it for a long while, in my experience. NBA players deal with it all the time.

At some point, Ingram will get signed to the 53 and either Klein/Spector cut.

 

Makes zero sense carrying 6 LBs, when the 6th guy is a fringe rosterable type AND we need #s at CB

Agree.  Likely Klein will go back to the PS since Spector beat him out in training camp.

HappyDays has been giving us injury info from a source he has for months if not longer, and he's been consistently right about them, warning us of various players and their injuries 24+ hours before the first reports come out, including the initial news on Groot's foot, McGovern's MCL issue in preseason, and more.

From NFL.com's Week 6 Bold Predictions:

 

Josh Allen posts eight touchdowns against the Giants, breaking the NFL record for most scores in a single game. The current league record stands at seven TDs, with four quarterbacks hitting that number since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger: Drew Brees (Week 8, 2015), Nick Foles (Week 9, 2013), Peyton Manning (Week 1, 2013) and Mark Rypien (Week 11, 1991).

Rousseau has a broken bone in his foot. It is somewhat of a surprise that he has no injury designation from what I've been told. I would guess he will be still be somewhat limited in the game.

 

Thanks for the report

 

One advantage groot has is that he's kind of a clean up man. Huge arms he can use to get in the air or reach a tackle

Thanks. It was no criticism. @HappyDays is a fantastic poster. I was just curious.
