Holmes Rib Injury - Cromartie #1 on WR Depth Chart - New England Patriots Forums

***goheels22002*** · 08-04-2012, 08:42 PM

Antonio Cromartie looks like he's the next Chuck Bednarik now that he's knocked Santonio Holmes out indefinitely with a broken rib:

Jets' Holmes may have broken rib during scrimmage - US News and World Report

Maybe the wildcat will be the base offense with Sanchez coming in on third and long occasionally to try a pass. Welcome to 1935.

Sounds like he'll live..

Santonio Holmes underwent X-rays after leaving scrimmage w/apparent rib injury. X-ray showed no broken rib. He is day-to-day. Info per Jets.

He doesn't have a broken rib. He may have re-aggravated an earlier injury, and it may be cartilage related.

Being told that Santonio Holmes' injury is cartiledge-related, not actually a broken rib. May have aggravated injury from last year.

Per team spokesman, x-rays on Santonio Holmes' rib was negative. No break. He's day-to-day. Sticking to earlier report that it's cartiledge.

I had to laugh at the thread title goheels. I think I interpreted it in the manner intended. My poor computer. This is the third time I've spit green tea on the screen in a fit of laughter this week.

Something like that could definitely linger and you can be 100% sure that he won't be getting the ball over the middle anytime soon.

I'm sure the Jets will take it easy with him moving forward, since it's just camp. I was just passing on the latest info...

Excellent thread title edit by the Mods - you guys are on the case! What's the world coming to when Twitter trumps US News & World Report?

Good for him, I guess. Torn cartilage in the rib cage is slow to heal. I doubt we'll see Santonio Holmes going over the middle for a high pass with a safety bearing down on him anytime soon.
