Woah, that's nuts. I'm hesitant to believe it until we hear something from the horse's mouth, but crazy if true.
But now CJA just tweeted "False" to a quoted version Rapsheet's tweet.... So *shrug*
I think this may be Schefter taking something out of context (not purposefully -- but based on what he was told being out of context). I heard Dr. Mark Adickes say on the SiriusXM Fantasy morning show that any time the ACL tears, whether fully or partially, it creates a bone bruise. He said CJA's injury being described as a bone bruise, and the fact that CJA went back out and played effectively, told him that there was a partial tear of the ACL, but the question was to what extent or whether he could keep playing.
Maybe I only have selective vision but it seems like Rapoport has been burned a good amount recently, especially when it comes to injuries. Wasn't he the one who said early word on Geno Smith was that he would be fine?
Healthy skepticism is always a good thing. Pretty telling that CJA deleted those tweets though...
Probably because the NFL.com home page has a giant red breaking news banner that reads "CJ Anderson out for rest of the season" but when you click on that link it's basically just using Rapoport's tweet as its source.
Makes me feel better about my original diagnosis... I still think there is more to this than a bone bruise and ACL makes complete sense. Especially a partial tear. It almost makes too much sense; do we need to operate on the ACL or is the tear small stable enough that rest will be okay.
I'm pretty sure CJA's contract is front-loaded, so he's pretty cheap by RB standards I believe. I guess it could depend on what Bibbs shows as the Booker back-up, and maybe even on the draft next year. The Broncos can save a little $$ by moving on from CJA, and maybe someone would trade a solid pick for him, but I don't think they'll feel compelled to cut him due to the salary.
I remember this happening to another RB not long ago... news he was out for the season broke and people dropped but it turned out to only be 4 weeks. Might have been AP. Did he have an MCL tear not long ago?
Really? It feels like this has become the norm in this Scoop Jackson/Twittersphere world of reporting. Apparently it is a hundred times more important to be FIRST versus ACCURATE. No worries over credibility anymore... it simply does not matter.
It's been a day... Abdullah went to go see a foot specialist on Wednesday, and we found out Friday I think he was done for the season. I guess I don't understand where you're "s*** show" reference is coming from. Because of social media postings being conflicting? Where have you been lately?
Well looks like I can drop him for one of those stash 'em lottery tix and hope and pray.
That makes no sense based on the mechanism of injury. Meniscus. But, if it's true, it still makes no sense... meniscus surgery would only hold him out for about 4 weeks. James Starks had his meniscus operated on. He is coming back soon. If it were a meniscus repair, yes he is done. Meniscectomy, no.
Yeah I am referring to all the conflicting alerts that have come across my phone for the last 24 hrs
The CYA is "likely" in his... reporting? I agree. "Likely" headed to IR, but maybe not... in fact probably not, he really doesn't know. But he was first to report it!
Everyone is trying to be first. Reporting whatever. We will find out once and for all later today I'm guessing. If J Thompson is activated then you know CJ is headed to IR.
I guess meniscus could be a factor... it usually is injured with a twisting motion to be honest. It would be a pure freak thing for him to tear it making a cut.
There are many varieties of meniscus tears, aren't there? Jahlil Okafor was expected to be out 6 weeks and ended up being much more (though partially the team could be uber-cautious.)
