Terrible news. Best wishes for Carl.

Before the Tampa game the Saints coaches and players were effusive in stating how much they "missed" him, that was for a record setting offense.

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

Terrible news. Not hyperbole.

Hasn't he been out all year any way?

You're thinking of their other elite OG.

No bueno for the Bucs offense.

Lost not 1, but now 2 Pro Bowl guards for the season....

Bye bye Doug Martin rb1 status. Get well soon nicks I love watching you dominate the defense

 

[Ministry of Pain]

They paid him a fortune to come there. I know injuries are part of the game but OMGoodness that is not good. I would definitely not be happy as a Doug Martin owner, but the flip side is what could you trade him for? What would be an upgrade at RB?

as a Martin owner I'm thinking of the same thing. I might throw some offers out for Forte, Richardson... maybe even Mathews.

it's not good news, but its also obvious that he was not playing at 100%, so how D.Martin is impacted directly is relatively unknown. It is probably safe to say it won't help, but to presume it means "end status as #1 rb" seems a bit extreme, too. Maybe the injury of Nicks just caps Martin's upside--who knows.

The SD oline is still worse than tb's post Nicks injury .

not bad. I actually have Calvin as well lol. What to do what to do... would have to be an RB though since I just traded Vick for Brandon Marshall last week (2-qb league, hahaha don't know how that happened).
