Sore.


Fortunately however he does not ascribe to the Aquib Talib School of Toughness, otherwise SORE would put him on IR.

In related news Bronco fans held their breath when Talib went to the lockerroom hoping fervently that the MRI would not come back positive for a bruise.

Injuries to monitor: Starting left guard Dan Connolly left the game in the fourth quarter and had his left foot/ankle looked at on the sideline by the athletic training staff. He headed to the locker room under his own power and did not return. Also, cornerback Kyle Arrington left the game in the third quarter with a head injury and returned to play on special teams but not on defense. The head injury was a result of a hit from teammate Duron Harmon. The game was also stopped late in the fourth quarter for receiver Brandon LaFell after he made a diving catch, but he walked off under his own power (and did not return). He had his left shoulder looked at on the sideline.

LaFell was in uniform on the sidelines walking while holding his neck area of the shoulder pads with his left arm. Obviously nursing the shoulder. Time will tell. Belichick won't.

i saw him walking on the side line at the end of the game, he didn't look like he was in any pain

thats what i thought, more of a shoulder problem the way his left arm was dangling by his side

LaFell said his shoulder feels "great," didn't appear concerned.

I expect him to be benched against GB for discussing injury status

Yeah, Mike Reiss claims that LaFell said that he could play tonight if there were a game, and that he'd be just fine.

Hopefully, he'll feel even better by next Sunday. Losing him would be enormous.

imo if he really did break his collar bone he wouldn't have looked that comfortable

Still bothers me for that play was completely unnecessary. We did not need to go for it on that play.

I'm sure that will be Felger's take too. Oh, you might be right, but when to stop trying is above my pay grade.

All I could think was how needless that play was. I wish BB would take the best players out once the game is effectively over... but he hasn't called yet to ask about my thoughts on his decisions. LOL

Yeah, sometimes BB needs to keep it in his freaking pants. If LaFell loses games because of that I'll be flippin pissed.

Probably preceded by "Football players play football."

If it was broken he wouldn't be smoking and joking on the sideline, it's a painful injury, I know. Lol.

That looked like a dislocated shoulder to me, the way it was hanging at his side. Something they can just pop into place, which would explain him on the sidelines still.

Smoking?

LaFell, Arrington and Connolly all injured but each looks short term so good outcome. Hope we can get Easley back Sun. Waiting for Siliga as well.
