whats the difference between the femoral and the popliteal?

the picture make them look like they are the same artery, just different sections

could he have died from this, lke when the femoral is punctured?

just different names for different levels, but it is the same artery. You typically won't bleed out from the pop, but you have to repair it or the leg is dead below that site.

Can you confirm that they are not now going to amputate his leg below the knee? What do sources close to you say?

i was just going off the bears statement that surgery was a success, the surgery was to save his leg, so it being successful would have to mean that they saved it

The Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars are the two teams that reached out to the Detroit Lions about potentially trading for retired wide receiver Calvin Johnson.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen discussed the situation Monday morning on Mike & Mike.

"The speculation has been the Philadelphia Eagles," Mortensen said (h/t Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice). "Once again, they need a tackle. They’re 7-1. They have only a first-round pick next year, and three 4s. They don’t have a second- or third-round pick. That’s not good.

"What’s it going to take to get Calvin Johnson, who by the way has a base salary still on the books for $16 million? Calvin has been working out, I guess, but does he really want to play? Jacksonville’s ears are perked up. Chances are, I don’t think it happens.”

The wire says the Seahawks traded for left tackle Duane Brown from the Texans. Wonder if Philly was ever in the conversation?

Seattle gave up cornerback Jeremy Lane, a 2018 5th round pick and a 2019 2nd round pick for Brown.

Seattle wants to win. TT is sitting on his hands. He knows the Packers will still sell out games no matter what shit they throw on the field.

Unless we trade for an elite QB we aren't going anywhere with this team even if he made a trade for a defensive player.

Redskins have the Packer plague too...

By game's end, the Redskins' offensive line included a rookie undrafted free agent taking snaps at left tackle for the first time as a pro (Tyler Catalina), a left guard signed Saturday (Arie Kouandjio), a rookie center (Chase Roullier) and a right guard who was signed earlier in the week (Tony Bergstrom).

Washington already was without its top backup tackle, Ty Nsekhe, because of a core muscle injury. He was joined on the sideline by Williams, center Spencer Long (knees/quads) and right guard Brandon Scherff (knee).

"It makes me sick to my stomach," Long said of all the injuries.

Of the Redskins' top six linemen, only one, right tackle Morgan Moses, was on the field at game's end. He, too, is dealing with two sprained ankles.

With Rodgers potentially out for the rest of the season, there is no reason to trade for any position.

I highly doubt they ever don't think about this.
