Nyheim Hines breaks silence over off-season injury

[BillsFan619]

“The details of what happened were always a little unclear. It was understood that there was a jet ski accident that was the cause of injury, and that he would be unavailable for the rest of the season. A huge blow to his continued success here at Buffalo.

In the incident, one of Hines’ friends did not see him turn his jet ski on the water and crashed into him going somewhere between 20 and 40 mph. Then when Hines when to go workout, somehow his leg, the side of his body not contacted by the other jet ski, was bothering him.

 

A MRI result showed Hines tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee.

 

Per Hines, he was barely even using the water craft that weekend, he just wanted to be a good friend and fill it with more gas for everyone else. Then the accident.”

I think the whole team should get ACL insurance.

I knew something was fishy.

He was bare. I knew it. That nudist couldn’t even keep pants on.

"breaks silence". 

 

Oh what incredible silence to break, as  if  some great revelation is here.

Right.  Maybe someday soon Sean will break his silence on 13 seconds.  THAT would be a headline.

WTF?

The details are still unclear.

Was he riding and turning when hit?

Or was he sitting still getting gas? 

Or is he now spinning it that his leg that didn't get hit by the jet ski was injured by working out? 

 

I'm more confused now.

“Hines’ Hiney lands him in hot water with Buffalo…”

Someone missed out.

Hines is always a guy I liked in Indy. Was really looking forward to him being in this offense. Missed opportunity last year under Dorsey...I'm betting Joe Brady could have found a role for him.

 

That said, I'm pretty sure he's all but done here in Buffalo. The past two years we have seen first hand that guys coming off ACLs are pretty much a shell of themselves the following year. Even a young pup like Breece Hall has seen a lack of explosiveness this year. And yes, some of that is due to OL...but not all.

 

At his cap hit coming off this injury and in the last year of his contract he is, unfortunately, an easy call as a cap cut IMO.

Does anyone else read this part as Hines was hoping to show the injury was somehow caused by a normal football routine workout/conditioning and not the jet ski accident? That would have saved Hines millions right if the injury was shown to be football related and not from a recreational activity.

I bet t happened as he was stepping up the curb on the way into the gym...some of those curbs are pretty high

I bet he tells his wife he was only at the strip club because they have good wings too.

Read another version of this story in the Athletic a week ago. Did not get any indication that Hines was saying injury was workout related. Story said Bills and Hines reached an agreement re: non-football injury list. Did not specify, but I assume from story Bills are still paying him, but maybe a reduced amount.

[Mr. WEO]

So, another non-contact ACL injury.

 

The NFL has to do something about this turf...

Sounds like a kid that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "I didn't even have any, maybe 1 or 2." The Bills had every right to not pay him a dime if it was in his contract

In the incident, one of Hines’ friends did not see him turn his jet ski

So he was using the jet ski, not stationary as previously reported.
