MJD's coming our party? (1 Viewer)

[softball]

(KFFL) The Associated Press reports Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) suffered a sprained left knee late in the team's Week 7 game. He left with 52 yards rushing off of 13 carries with one touchdown. X-rays taken were negative and he should be fine for Week 8.

Thanks for the update.

X-rays.Don't jump for joy just yet, I am not an owner of MJD so I have no interest. But a sprain is bad, and if there is any swelling at all an X-ray wont work too well.The MRI that's coming will be the relief to MJD owners.

Good stuff. Hopefully Mighty Mouse is fine.

Let's say it's just a sprain (Hoping), with a sprain would he miss any time or tough it out?

downside of small backs - more injury prone

IMO its the exact opposite. Most big backs cant dodge tackles and avoid contact. Backs that are small tend to be elusive.Weight not height of the back I believe has an impact on injuries. Westbrook and Dunn come to mind as small(weight) yet elusive, BUT MJD does not fit this mold despite being small.When grading a back as a big back or a small back, I think you should take into account the general height/weight ratio.MJD is 5'7 208, thats a big back despite being short. If anything being short gives you a better center of gravity and gives you and advantage to get lower on impact which usually means you'll win the engagement.So this injury has nothing to do with him being prone. His combination of height/weight is why I love him so much in Dynasty, hes less injury prone IMO because of his height, can take hits because of his weight yet heavier backs tend to wear down like SJAX , S. Alexander , LJ , ADP, Marshawn Etc. These guy will take punishment for yards. Normally the smaller guys mean you deal with light backs. Not here.

I think the comment was sarcasm due to all the Brandon Jacobs discussion in the past month.

He lit the Colts up!

In a non PPR league the guy is 11th overall at RB. I like it. And hey, if he misses time due to this strain, as a Taylor owner I'm still in good shape. I don't get all the hate. The guy has something like 20 TD's in almost a year and half in the league. The guy has a nose for the endzone...

Agreed. I'm guessing some Taylor owners are upset because MJD gets most of the goalline work. I wouldn't mind MJD taking a week off and seeing what FT does with full time work.

Dude the Colts D is vastly improved and yet in PPR Might Mouse got me 22.55 pts and included in that was the 133 kickoff return yards on which he nearly broke for a TD!I'd take those pts any day of the week and that was against a good Colts D with the Jags starting QB out!Man if MJD is fine, imagine what will happen against the softer D's on their schedule

As an MJD owner, until I hear the MRI came out negative, I'm still fearing the worst...

We're all relieved to hear that. I'm sure Jack Del Rio will sleep easier as well.

Bump...any news? Shouldn't we have heard something on MJD's injury status by now?

I could care less if JDR sleeps well or not. If he's healthy (no blown ACL or anything) MJD starts for me next week and possibly the week after. If he misses a couple of weeks I'm good with that too. Depth and forethought are a good thing....

Are they doing an MRI? I hadn't seen anything about it, but it would sure be good to know something about his status before free agency tonight. It didn't look like a season ending hit, but I guess you never know. He walked to the sidelines and went by himself to the locker room when Del Rio pulled him for good. I would think more concern would be shown if it was anything serious.

That is interesting. I haven't heard any mention of an MRI at all. Usually there is some mention by the next day if an injury warrants an MRI.

 

[kremenull]

May prove to be wrong but usually an ACL tear doesn't occur because of a hit to the knee.

You must didn't see the Willis McGahee injury in the Fiesta Bowl vs. Ohio St. then........Let me repeat.....ALL knee injuries are pretty unique, you can tear a ligament all sorts of ways, contact, non-contact, it's not isolated to either.....

Everything's been so quiet. Come on you homers REPORT IN. You've got to know something by now!

That is my thinking on the matter. No news is good news in this case. He wasn't put on the table and checked out sidelines as far as I could see and while he limped to the locker room, it looked more like a tweak than a major injury. Of course you never know, but I think he plays unless it is serious since they will be counting on him with Garrard out. I sure would like to see some snippet of news from during the day and not last night or early this AM to make me more comfortable.

That's all I'm asking for. I know somebody must know something by now. I'm fine without him, as my RB depth is good, but I have to know what his status is.Anyone try text messaging him yet?

I found this snippet from the AP released not too long ago (by Mark Long):

"The Jaguars ran more in the second half with Gray at quarterback, but it was too little, too late. Taylor finished with 55 yards rushing, and Jones-Drew added 52 before spraining his left knee late in the game. Del Rio said he should be fine."

I also noticed in the same article that he goes on to describe Garrard's MRI that happened today, while there was no mention of MJD or any MRI. I would think they would have done both if MJD was going to get an MRI, and speaks to the floated sentiment that MJD is OK. I am not a professional nor a doctor, but this is what I see right now.

[schlesinj]

Del Rio was on Sirius this late this morning and was asked about MJD and he said he should be fine.

I am still keeping my fingers crossed because I do not trust any coach when it comes to injuries.

Did they ask him why he had MJD playing late in the 4th QT of a meaningless game?Or perhaps Del Rio needs someone to help him make common sense decisions? How some of these guys get these head coaching jobs, I'll never understand....sigh.

Funny how people don't care when their RB picks up garbage yards late in a lopsided game but then gripe when he takes a shot to the knee with 2 minutes left. Move along....

Yeah, it's nothing definitive yet, but it makes me feel better as well as both a MJD owner and a Jags fan.

I think the lack of news is good news. Not lack of news about MRI results, the lack of news of an MRI ever taking place....I would guess he gets a Probable on the injury report this week...

[jbz]

Even if it's "just" a sprained knee, that could be bad too. Andre Johnson sprained his knee a long time ago and still hasn't come back. Hope MJD's alright

 

[Football Jones]

The following came from a reputable fantasy site (FantasyGuru):

* Jaguar RB Maurice Jones-Drew (knee) suffered a knee sprain in the fourth

quarter of Monday night’s game but said he would be fine for Sunday’s game

at Tampa Bay. Coach Jack Del Rio called it a “mild” sprain and said he is

“going to be a little tender,” but did not say whether Jones-Drew might

miss any time.

Hopefully, this indicates his injury isn't that serious.

 

[Sleeper 43]

IF the sprain was severe like Andre's, I doubt they would have let him walk himself all the way to the locker room.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

According to Jaguars.com, Garrard was to have an MRI exam today. There is no mention of MJD being scheduled for one as well.
