Michael Williams (TE) gone to IR or . . .

And all the gym workouts, stretching exercises, zen meditation and the like aren't going to stop it from happening, and anyone who claims they will is lying to you.

This isn't a black and white issue. Gym workouts, stretching exercises, and yes even zen meditation can have a role in reducing it. Not stopping it, no, but reducing it, of course.

Hope he clears waivers and gets to IR, but if someone decided they wanted to grab him like the Pats did with the Giants' TE, they are getting a guy with a lesser injury, and likely to contribute next year.

Isn't the roster issue here more about fourth OT than about fourth TE?
Everybody figure that'll be an easy replacement?

Now to the BIG question.........How does this effect the cap ? Miguel

@Miguel is much more effective in getting my attention

Ouch! Hope you're on the mend buddy. You're probably correct that there was outstanding damage, but I would expect a physical to detect these things. Teams need to modernize their medical evaluations and treatment methods.

Reamer - It was nearly 20 years ago that I did it.. I still have issues with it, but it's ok for the most part..

As for a physical detecting this, they don't have them daily. They have one at the end of the year. They have one to start training camp. And they have one when they sign a contract.. I think that's it..

My case was extreme. I know people who have stepped wrong off a curb and partially torn their acl and then completed it during physical activity. We won't ever really know if/when damage occurred prior to the full tear. I was just pointing out the one situation..

I hope that his spot on the 90 is taken by somebody who has experience - either in college or pros -
at playing Left Tackle.

 

[neckroll#14]

Yes. Reverts to IR. Back next year.

Yes. Reverts to IR. Back next year.

Sweet. The guy is good to have for the heavy sets they've been doing the last couple seasons.
