Proposed new rules not enacted - problem for Bishop

[Patler]

Bummer.

Maybe DB's career is over. Fortunately the backup depth is performing nicely.

I have been surprised that this possibility hasn't been mentioned much. As I recall, a torn hamstring is what ended Mark D'Onofrio's career, after he won a starting LB spot as a rookie. Hopefully, things are better now, and/or Bishop's wasn't as severe. I remember when D'Onofrio was injured, it was feared to be potentially catastrophic almost immediately. Long time ago, however.

Some folks tok M3's acknowledgement that Bishop might fit on the amended IR as an indication his prognosis was not as bad as it could have been.

But since they have released zero details or timetable and McCarthy has guilded the lily before on player issues, I would expect that a career ender might not have been ruled out yet. But I expect they already know the prognosis as they mentioned that surgery would reveal the extent of the damage.
