11/08 - Injury Watch

[VectorPrime]

With the Washington game not yet over we have some significant injuries to watch. In terms of the players involved I mean.

Vollmer - Out with a head injury. Head injuries suck, but AFAIK Vollmer doesn't have any history with concussions concerns. So this may not be a huge issue. Awful position to lose a guy in due to the total lack of depth.

Lewis - Out with a knee injury. Scary as all hell. He was on the ground for a long time. He walked off without a noticeable limp but that can be really deceiving. He was downgraded to "out" almost immediately which is concerning. I don't need to go in depth about how bad his potential loss can be, he adds an entirely different dimension to our offense. With the way he went limp after the hit I wouldn't be surprised if he's also concussed. Part of me is hoping that the "knee" thing is just a cover for a head injury. The other part of me knows how bad head injuries are and how awful that is to hope for.

Harmon - trainers were looking at his leg on the field. Walked off under his own power.

Hightower - He missed a couple plays but came back in. Maybe literally nothing but Im just being thorough.

Soo....

Not that good.

Lewis is the concerning one. It didn't look very good with the way the players were huddling around him. We should know pretty soon if it's season ending.

Add Harmon to the list.

harmon walked off on his own power

And, equally importantly, did not have trainers around him.

Lewis injury looked like a hyper extension of his knee.

Unbelievable.

These o line injuries might cost the pats a title.

Pats should've traded for a Tackle.

Routine to wait for MRI on @DionLewisRB before formal announcement, but physical exam is very accurate on diagnosing ACL vs MCL.

Also this one:
Pats won't know full extent of Dion Lewis injury until his MRI, but the hope is it's an MCL sprain and not more

Do these mean the initial diagnosis is an MCL sprain?
