Pre AFCCG Injury Watch Thread

Alright, I'm getting confused on these other threads about who is potentially injured with what injury, so here.

Post here any further updates on Collins, Jones, Mayo, and anyone else who is dealing with an injury.

When someone replied asking if he meant "cautiously optimistic", he said :

.@Pete_BBS Of course. But it doesn't sound like from what I'm told that any of them suffered "major" injury. They'll rehab this week.


And on Chris Harris :

It's good that they did not suffer anything serious. With those guys playing, we should be able to limit their running game. They have no passing game, so their offense will struggle mightily without the ability to run.

And hopefully come out with a W and healthy enough to rehab for 2 weeks before the big game.

Win game = extra week off until SB after that you have Months to Rehab.

With chris harris shoulder as bad as it is. If he cant tackle or press the receiver, whomever is on him is going to have a big game.

And edelman torched harris when harris was healthy

 

[slash83]

Great news on Jones and Mayo, hopefully all hands on deck.

Kiszla: Chris Harris shoulders responsibility for keeping Julian Edelman in check

The Broncos' best shot of beating the Patriots rests on the tender left shoulder of cornerback Chris Harris. And he's hurting. Big time.

Harris is the most valuable player on a team whose championship dream is built on defense. He's the flypaper in the No-Fly Zone. Without Harris, who played a team-high 96.99 percent of the defensive snaps during the regular season, the Broncos' swagger slowly begins to disappear, along with their ability to use the intimidating man-to-man coverage, from which their confidence flows.

The health of Harris is far more crucial to the Broncos' chances of beating New England than the arm strength of Manning. Harris is the antidote to New England receiver Julian Edelman, who makes the Pats' offense so dangerous on third down.

Hope that mother****er doesn't play. Let them put Roby on the squirrel... I'm licking my chops.

Good luck with that, not happening.

LOL the antidote to Edelman?! Chris Harris is Edelman's *****. He's not an antidote to anything.

 

[Mack Herron]

Denver's concern is whether Harris is healthy enough to slow down the Patriots passing game, while the Patriots concern is whether the front 7 is healthy enough to slow down the Bronco's running game.

MMMD 1: Patriots continue as most injured team

Despite leading the league in injuries, New England moves on to the AFC Championship Game. The five injured offensive starters (Brady, Edelman, Gronk, Amendola and Vollmer) all played well in victory.

Now the worry is on the defensive side with Jamie Collins, Jerod Mayo and Chandler jones all exiting with injury. By video, Collins’ oblique muscle injury was confirmed and he is likely to play next week. Jerod Mayo with a shoulder injury has a chance to be active as well. Fellow LB Dont’a Hightower needed surgery, yet finished last season wearing a brace and Mayo could do the same.

Chandler Jones’ knee is the bigger worry. I saw only limited video and one angle but the fear is patella subluxation or cartilage issue. He was announced with a non-specific knee sprain and headed for MRI with hopefully good news to follow.

I think Harris plays for sure, whether he's effective or even finishes a game is very much up in the air.

With Chris Harris hurting, Broncos add cornerback

To guard against the possibility that Harris will be worse instead of better, they’ve added cornerback Taurean Nixon from the practice squad. A seventh-round pick in the 2015 draft, Nixon fills the roster spot created by the placement of safety Omar Bolden on injured reserve.

The Broncos can beat the Patriots without Bolden. They may not have a chance without Harris, especially with receiver Julian Edelman, who missed the regular-season game between the two teams, now back for the Patriots.

Last 3 games vs DEN JE has 29 catches for 288yds and 4TDs.

Harris will not be a problem.

I expect him to cover Edelman and Edelman to get more YAC than he would normally get.

Julian Edelman = The Antonio Brown of the N.E. Partiots you cannot stop him you can only hope to contain him.

Was just looking through JE11's stats. Did you know last year in the playoffs, he had 9 punt returns for 143 yards? Guy is a huge play maker for NE.
