How long is he out with that injury? 2 weeks? Please?

I think usually that is at least an 8-12 week injury.

If by 'two weeks', you mean 'season', then yes.

Can't take snaps properly with one shoulder. Probably can't rotate your shoulders to get the proper torque on the ball either.

Medical Treatment (clavicle = collarbone)
The vast majority of collarbone fractures can be treated with a simple sling. Sometimes a swath is wrapped around the sling to hold it to the body. Occasionally a figure-of-eight splint is used. This wraps around both shoulders and the neck to hold the shoulders back and up. Either method is appropriate treatment for the broken collarbone. You will be instructed to wear the sling at all times until there is no further pain with movement. This is usually 2-4 weeks for children and 4-8 weeks for adults.

Expected Duration
If your fracture is treated without surgery, you probably will be able to return to your normal level of physical activity once the ends of your collarbone have healed back together, and the healed area is firm. This usually means waiting for at least six weeks after your shoulder strength and range of motion have returned to normal. In some cases, X-rays may be necessary to confirm that your collarbone has healed completely.
If you need surgery to repair your fractured collarbone, it may take four to six months before you can return to strenuous activities at work or on the playing field.

Smells like chicken
well ur ignorant. Play a with a broken calvicle?
That is how long you wear a sling but it takes longer than that to fully heal. I think he's done.

After he was in the locker room for awhile, so xrays probably confirmed.Wonder if this injury will save Wade's job. Now he can put losses on Romo getting hurt.

You can barely breathe/move without significant discomfort (ie, Pain) with a broken collar bone.

6-8.
From WikiThe immobilization(sling) is followed by a theraputic regimen of passive exercises, and later of active exercises. Full radiological union is typically achieved in 16 weeks for adult surgical patients, and shorter times are achieved by teenagers and young children. In patients who participated in prescribed physical therapy, 85-100% mobility returned in 6–9 months, with full strength returning in 9–12 months.So it takes about 4 months for the bone to fully heal. Even if it is his non-throwing shoulder it could easily get re-broken if not fully allowed to heal. Got to believe he is done this year but should be OK to start next year.

No, he won't be able to throw the ball properly. Throwing a football is not just using your right hand and slinging it forward.Also, after he takes the first hit to a broken shoulder, he'd wish he were dead.

Well at least he got me to 7-0.
I also see dead people.

Just waiting for the token poster who will claim he had the same injury to tell us how long Romo will be out for
Isn't that good info in some cases? I think it is. Not in this case, considering he is done for most if not all year.
clavicle or collar bone its the sameNow they are saying broken left collarbone?8-10 weeks. Looks like he is done.
...and I probably shouldn't have traded away Eli to get Romo.

8 to 10 weeks per ESPN.
Downgrade everyone by a mile. Miles Austin isn't an every week starter, now a situational starter against weak pass defenses only.

So is kitna their only option at qb?
Really? That drastic?
Im thinking Witten gets a bump...and maybe MBIII goes up because Jones will get injured now.

Why isn't this in this in the Game Thread or the Injury Thread? This thread is just wasting precious space that could otherwise be dedicated to speculation about James Davis and BenJarvis Green-Ellis.
