Starks: ankle sprain

Woodson: Concussion

Quarless: Significant knee sprain. In M3 speak, that has to be his season.

Mad, can you change this thread title to Injuries Week 13?

Thanks

knee sprain? i thought his lower leg bent between the knee and ankle.

I thought the same thing. But he limped off and they wouldn't have done that if he had broken his leg. I think he shredded his knee.

i thought he was helped off with a guy under each arm. ok.

Yeah, he did. I just don't think he goes off under his own power if that lower leg had snapped like EJ Hendersen's did.

It looked much worse than a sprain, however I hope that is what it is. Regardless he looks done for the season. Did they say how serious the concusion to wood was? He is a big part of what they do on D and losing him and Collins is horrible.

"Significant" usually means p < 0.05 that it's not season ending.

i'll bet he's ready for the next game...against the raiders.

Two things on the Quarless injury: first off, that was on the punt return where he signaled for the fair catch and still returned it. secondly, Quarless was hurt on an illegal block in the back. THATS WHY THOSE BLOCKS ARE ILLEGAL. I expect a fine for both that play and the leverage play by JPP or Tuck or whoever it was. When you deliberately break rules, it has to get a response from the league.

Cheesehead Craig: burnt tounge from too hot pizza. Should be just fine for next week though.

I wonder how the league will view it?

As mentioned in the game thread, Pereira said it should be called an illegal fair catch signal. Quite possible Quarless saw the signal, pulled up a bit and got caught off balance.

The block was mostly from the side. There could have been a penalty, but it would have been a close call. The knee buckled as he was planting it to slow down and change directions. That, plus the force of the block, was too much. A sprain can mean anything - from a slight tear in the meniscus all the way to a Brooks-like rupture of multiple ligaments. For Quarless, I'm guessing three: ACL, lateral collateral, and meniscus. Ouch!

Nice.

Which would put him on the PUP for next year without a second consecutive offseason program. I like Quarless and have hopes that he'll become another weapon for the team considering his college capabilities.
