Lions get relatively good news on WR Amon-Ra St. Brown injury

An update on Amon-Ra St. Brown’s injury, which sounds like good news for the Detroit Lions.

Relatively good news on Amon.

Any chance Frank watched yesterday’s game and was like, “On second thought …”?

At this stage kind of wish Frank had taken the whole year off, get right and come back fresh for 2-3 more seasons.

I don't know enough about his foot injury, but would it work that way? Or is it more he can handle 10 games a year with limited practices and no OTA's?

Have no idea. Seems odd for a football player to come back in December after retiring. Maybe the foot is feeling better, and he just needed more time off. I do remember reading they can`t do anymore surgeries on the turf toe that has been nagging him.

Yeah. I remember reading that. It is all pain management it won't ever heal. I guess we are about to find out. Hopefully it isn't too late.

5 - 0 down the stretch the division would still be in play, but still unlikely.
4 - 1 pretty much guarantees a wild card spot
3 - 2 they would need some seriois help with the Bears/Packers Cowboys and 49ers losing the right games and the Lions beating the Cowboys and Bears.
2- 3 or worse and it is over for this season.

I am disappointed, but also not shocked. You lose both coordinators, basically have 60 percent of the offensive line as new starters with Glasnow switching positions, and your two best defensive lineman coming off major injuries and regression was going to come. Just didn't expect this much regression.

Dark humor is better than no humor. This is going to be a good test of whether the Lions and Campbell have grit.

Have to imagine Campbell’s blood pressure is at an all time high with Ben Johnson leading the division, hopefully we can respond accordingly.

I don’t think it’s odd at all. Skip training camp and the slog of the early season games and play a few high-impact games at the end of the year. I kinda hope it’s not that, since it would suggest he’s less likely to come back for another 2-3 years, but that seems the most plausible explanation to me

It is relatively good news, but it also doesn’t really tell us much any how long his absence will be. There are bad LASs and mild HASs. Ultimately there aren’t a lot of tea leaves we can read to know how many games he’ll miss

 

[Zeppelin]

I am going to post my thoughts later today or tomorrow

I'm too frustrated to post my thoughts. All I will say is the Dallas game is a must win.

 

[Da Guru]

So my BIL and SIL live in Naperville outside Chicago and Facetimes us yesterday running his chops and getting all chesty about Da Bears. They were in Wrigleyville and all the bars were jammed for the Eagles game, and acting like they won the Superbowl after.

The energy kind of reminded me of when the Lions finally turned the corner a couple years ago.

Hopefully the last game means something and we can knock them off. Tired of them already.

I just posted in the Bears thread…scary part is that Chicago has loads of talent with pass catchers and they are not even close to maximizing their passing attack. If Caleb continues to grow, they have the pieces to be dynamic for a long time.

Just reported on The Ticket that Rags failed his physical and will not play this season.

Really puts a damper on turning the season around. Hopefully they finish strong and then really go after some talent on offensive and defensive line in the offseason.

Not even the toe. Grade 3 hamstring injury. A grade 3 is a torn hammy.

Strange as he has not even practiced yet.

That is crazy. When it rains it pours.

Nothing but bad news ever since Amon Ra did you know what, it got the Tigers too lol

 

[King of the Jungle]

Backs against the wall, the next two will be a challenge (DAL/Rams). Gibbs is going to have to put his cape on if we are going to have a chance to keep up with those teams on the scoreboard.

They overachieved again and had a nice playoff run…

They went something like 3-14 after and lost the division.

With all the hits to the OL and offense it would be real nice if the defense would step up and particularly the pass rush.

I agree, but facing DAL/Rams we will need something on the scoreboard. Not a lot of confidence from me on how the last five games will go, hope they prove me wrong.

Cold water but I'm sure it's been discussed.

Ragnow fails physical, won't join Lions this season

Four-time Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow has failed his physical and will not play for the Lions this season, the team announced.

www.espn.com

Anybody hear from BL? I'm not trying to convey worry, but I am a bit. Miss his efforts here and felt like I was closer to the Lions than I should be in CA. Far as this board and thread, he became the glue. If you're reading @BobbyLayne I hope you are well. My not-so-Christian self will say an un-ironic prayer for you and your wife tonight. Peace.

Yeah I just saw that update and was thinking “bro showed up with a completely torn hammy?!”

Like how was he expecting to contribute? I can’t believe he walked in. Was he carted in? What’s even happening here?

Holiday weekend? Maybe he’s out of contact for a min?

Does seem a bit weird. Put me in the “hope he’s ok” camp.

It's been a long time. Like, really long when football weeks are sort of like months. Feels like over half the year. Not being morbid because I really don't think that happened. I just don't, or didn't. I typed out a thought but I refuse to speculate because his reasoning is his to own and he certainly deserves his privacy without speculation. My post was so that if anybody miraculously knew; but then turned, and I'm being honest here, into an "I hope he sees this" post, and it's both caring with a self-interested but fair impulse, one that stops at its goal that is not even a plea for him to come back or to check in and ease worry, though that would be cool; no, it's to just let him know that he's thought of.

It was posted here a few weeks ago that he’s doing okay but he’s also been busy but would rather not post here anymore due to all the bickering if I remember correctly.

Great poster, I enjoyed his posts.

Good to hear. Good for him.

Was on my phone. Relieved to hear that he’s okay.

Frank walks in and Holmes says "How are you feeling Frank, good to go for Dallas?" Frank: Pretty good except I think I tore my hamstring getting off the plane" Whole thing is bizarre.

A grade 3 hamstring strain is a complete tear of the hamstring muscle, a severe injury marked by intense pain, significant swelling, bruising, and weakness. Patients often report hearing a "pop" at the time of injury and may be unable to walk or straighten their leg. Immediate medical attention is required, and treatment can involve surgical repair for complete ruptures, especially those where the tendon pulls away from the bone.

The NFL has put a Bulls-Eye on Brien Branch. This was from the Giants game. Branch fine total is now at $170,000 in just his 3rd season.

Safety Brian Branch was fined $23,186 for unnecessary roughness after hitting a defenseless player.

Yeah, I get that these guys are used to dealing with pain at a level I’m not acquainted with. But I’ve been dealing with a grade 1/2 injury, and there is no way I could have pretended it was completely fine. Grade 3……I mean that’s a brutal injury. My doctor was a junior Olympian and is recovering from a Grade 3 hammy….and he still doesn’t feel quite right over a year post-injury.

I just don’t get it.
