Re: SMY: Hernandez strained MCL, out 1-2 weeks.



It would be nice to have a healthy Aaron for the jerks game. Ah well.

Next man up!

Nothing definitive, but....

Wouldnt surprise me. A strain is a mild tear.

Would have been nice to have Yeatman on the practice sqaud.

Looks like it's more of a 1-2 week then the 4 and more week

Re: SMY: Hernandez strained MCL, out 1-2 weeks.

According to this report, could be out 4-6 weeks
Aaron Hernandez Sprains MCL In Patriots Win, Could Miss 4-6 Weeks - SB Nation Boston

I hate to be obvious here, but did you read that?

According to reports...

He's reading the newspapers (or tweets) back to us and using the highest figure for his "could be"

Re: SMY: Hernandez strained MCL, out 1-2 weeks.

Hopefully he will be back for the Jets game..but i would rather have him sit if he is going to be 100% for 2nd half/playoffs...they can beat the jets without him


It's a bummer but at least it wasn't to the hip area again..and guys usually come back 100% after a strain

Not to be Debbie Downer, but Mayo was a shell of himself in 2009 after his MCL strain.

Curran said 6 weeks ,Ian Rapoport still saying 1-2 weeks, who the F knows

Rapaport said he checked on the Curran report (4-6 weeks) and is still sticking to his sources which say 1-2 missed games for Hernandez.

Re: Herandez out 1-2 weeks

Just hope we don't miss him against Buffalo!

My thoughts exactly!

 

[Brettlax3434]

"Comcast SportsNet New England is hearing that Aaron Hernandez's MCL sprain could cost him upwards of 4-6 weeks, longer than the Boston Globe's original estimate of 1-2 weeks.
CSNE beat writer Tom Curran says the injury could sideline Hernandez "for at least a month" and "as long as six weeks." The Patriots don't discuss injury situations with the public, so Hernandez's precise return timetable is going to be a guessing game for awhile. In the meantime, Rob Gronkowski could push to become the top tight end in all of fantasy football."

Re: Hernandez out six weeks?

So are we going to see a lot Gronk & Gronk formations and pass routes? That has to be a bit confusing to the defense; double headaches.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Re: Hernandez out six weeks?

I am starting to think he will be out longer than 2 weeks which sucks

 

[IcyPatriot]

Re: Hernandez out six weeks?

This will be Chad's opportunity to shine - he can pick up some of the offense lost there.

Re: Hernandez out six weeks?

I 1-starred this thread (only one I've ever rated!), because how hard is to scroll a quarter down the page and see that there's already a post? Did you think you were breaking news?

 

[farn]

Re: Hernandez out six weeks?

Ugh. REALLY ugh. Hernandez is the best receiver. Branch and Welker are doing plenty, but I think Hernandez is the main guy right now.

Wonder if that means 3 WRs and more Ocho coming our way.

Are you aware that he stayed in for 4 more plays after suffering the sprain?

Hard to point to that as evidence as to how bad the injury is though. Theoretically he could have made it worse on one of those plays.

Because I am trained to expect nothing more than "questionable - lower body injury", I am skeptical of the multiple sources offering different timelines.

I guess we'll just wait and see.
