WR Odell Beckham, Jr., MIA (2 Viewers)

[pbandy1]

was it a cheap shot?

anyone have a link to the hit?

IMO no, just an unfortunate hit. Didn't seem intentional.

 

[SameSongNDance]

That hit, his reaction and him collapsing to the ground on his way to the locker room all looked really bad to me. I hope it's minor.

 

[Soaring Eagle]

anyone have link to video?

 He's a bit of a drama queen. I bet he's fine.

Gonna be an MCL sprain. 

I partially tore my MCL and it looked just like that.

 

[Ilov80s]

Where were the trainers? Weird he was allowed to walk off on his own, collapse and nobody was around to help.

 

[Da Gildz]

The doom and gloom here is hilarious.  He's probably practicing by next week.  

 

[Soaring Eagle]

his knee did give a lot laterally when you look at that in slow motion

 

[Stealthycat]

looked bad

Yeah, worst case scenario would have been non-contact and him being carted off the field. I don't think he's done for the season or anything like that.

 

[Jello_Biafra]

Looked like he got the wind knocked out of him more than anything. He was running to the locker room. I don't know what you guys were watching.

 

[Soaring Eagle]

video in slow motion

 

[Gopher State]

Looked bad, Mri will tell the story.

 

[amnesiac]

knee and ankle.  

bad sprain at minimum, imo.  

my guess is 4-6 weeks if no major damage.

4-6 weeks what round does he go now?

 

[Gopher State]

4th

 

[Stealthycat]

if its a strain/pull he's lucky on that knee

ankle is the least of the concern, the knee aint supposed to be bent like that.

I wish the NFL would go back to tackling vs hitting .... hitting had ruined the game and led to so many injuries. The DEF guy could have tackled him 

 

[beerbuff]

looked bad

Hit above the knee on thigh. Hard hit on the turf. He ran off just fine. I think it'll just turn out to be a twisted ankle but time will tell.

[pantherclub]

4th

no way

If he has a knee/ankle injury that is going to take him 6-8 weeks to get healed then this is the year to stay far far away.

the hit rolled into the knee

@JeneBramel: XR first for Beckham. High ankle mechanism puts fibula at risk w/ higher grade injury. Almost certain that Beckham will have MRI soon, too. https://twitter.com/SNFMikeRyan/status/899801780590002176

 

[Da Gildz]

Walking on the sidelines 

lol

yawn. 

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Looks fine to me

 

[SameSongNDance]

The dude is strolling around the sideline right now.

 

[Soaring Eagle]

is he? link?  video?   no crutches?

 

[amnesiac]

walking is a good sign, i would think??

 

[Da Gildz]

The sky is falling! Noooooooooo!

I'm a pessimist when it comes to #### like this. McCoy would give me a heart attack a season, I actually had to start pricing his effect on my well being into his ADP.

His lung is in his knee? This is worse than I thought.

Marshall getting X-rays on his shoulder yikes

Some of yall are dramatic,...he's good for week 1

The dreaded HAS??

The dreaded HAS??

Looking that way

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

Link to hit.

You've been money with the links (McCaffrey thread)!

Totally an ankle.  He'll be fine.  Not a doctor.  He was on his toes, so his foot wasn't planted and you can see his ankle give a little at the end until his foot comes loose from the turf.  I own OBJ in both my dynasty leagues and based on that video, I'm not overly concerned.  Didn't look nearly as bad as the posts indicated.

 

[Da Gildz]

You've seen guys with high ankle sprains walking around the sidelines w/o a limp 15 min after injury occurs?  Them ankles on OBJ are fierce.

I waited until now to see the whole thing play out...

It is in my opinion...He is absolutely fine, the injury looked bad but he escaped any issue and did all that and played it up for the camera like most drama queens who seek attention do.

I am an OBJ owner and fan, and I can say, he is a diva who cried wolf on that injury reaction there. He wanted the attention. 

 

[fruity pebbles]

Camera's on me in the locker room? Cue fall to the ground for effect.

 

[beerbuff]

What a stud. What other player could come back from a concussion, knee injury and high ankle sprain in a couple of hours?

Only Big Ben does is more effectively.

I'd much prefer this to what I feared, which is that he was acting all fine and tough when he knew cameras were on him outside and then let himself feel the pain and fear when he thought he wasn't being watched.

Looked like knee to me. Ankle is barely on the ground and not flexed. Clear the knee gets hit sideways. I was surprised to read it was an ankle

If you watch it more closely you see his whole upper leg moving in unison from the hip joint.  So while the knee is moving, so is the rest of his leg... except his ankle which is planted by the ball of his foot.  Since he's not fully planted, his foot breaks free which relieves the stress that was temporarily on his ankle.  Again, I'm not a doctor, but that's what I'm seeing.  

 

[jmo87usc]

I'm thinking best case he starts week 1.  Worst case he's out for the year.  Either way whatever happens, happens and I would suggest not wasting another second of precious life trying to figure it out.  Just my opinion from having wasted too much time in this hobby. 

I did chuckle at the irony of @Rhythmdoctor saying "I'm not a doctor".

Dr Jene explained that he saw the upper leg moving with the knee as a good sign. 

High ankle could still require surgery. 

 

[groin pains]

If they feared it was a HAS, they would have put it in a boot.  He is fine...settle down!
