Med staff has since left LaFell alone, but he is still tightening his left fist and loosening it up on the sideline.

Always something has to happen to derail a great season with an injury to someone important

Hoyer GWD, Browns kick FG, 1 second left.

Manning would have thrown 3 times in a row there, guaranteed

lol browner smiling at calvin

 

[BradyFTW!]

If he did break the collarbone, he could theoretically be back by the post season I think?

Possibly, yeah. Right now I'm just worried about next week. Green Bay at anything less than full strength is a tall order, but collarbones can be anywhere from 4-8 weeks or so if that's indeed what it is.

Had the refs not tried so hard to keep the game close, garbage time would have started a long time ago and there wouldn't be 2 injured Pats starters...

 

[SVN]

pats running up the score talk begins

 

[DOGWARZ]

I hope I'm just being paranoid about injuries. Just seems to happen to us so often

 

[mayoclinic]

4th and goal. Tim Wright time.

What a very tiring game. Ready for it to be over.

Still a great sign that they didn't send him for an X-ray.

Billy Cundiff only misses kicks against the patriots

Doesn't sound serious.

 

[reflexblue]

It is hilarious that Gray hasn't played today. He was on the cover of SI this week, no other coach would have the balls to do that.

yeah and now he will be not only humbled but pissed off for the game against GB next week. nicely played by BB

 

[Joey007]

Possibly, yeah. Right now I'm just worried about next week. Green Bay at anything less than full strength is a tall order, but collarbones can be anywhere from 4-8 weeks.

So we're already assuming he broke his collarbone?

What an overreaction. It didn't even look that serious. LaFell will be fine

This looks a little encouraging:

Sounds more like a stinger than any significant injury like a broken collar bone.

Another year where a player gets hurt in garbage time

Great
