Video of Hightower Throwing His Shoulder Out vs. Packers

[shmessy]

Yeah, I guess it's his shoulder alright. He was windmilling to get away from the blocker at the bottom of the screen:

Great find! I can't believe he hurt his shoulder like that.

 

[shmessy]

Yeah, I inadvertently found it. Was watching some of the vids on packers.com and when I saw this I just said "Oh crap, that's where it all happened".

Looks like it just fell out of the socket on his third slap at the guy.

Hope he can go...but i am doubtful

Better than having a 300 pounder fall on it. Good find, shmessy.

Hopefully this is something he can recover from in time for the playoffs

Nice find.. I wonder what @profootballdoc (David Chao, former Chargers doc) would say if he saw the video..

EDIT: Nevermind, someone actually asked him already:

Only one angle, Can't be sure. Best guess is subluxed shoulder. Rehab and play in brace is possible.

Omg, WHY? Not one pro bowl LB, but arguably another this year

Protection at its finest? How about coverage at its finest? Rodgers the supposed best QB in the game from his 15 and he is back there 10 seconds and has to throw it away. And it's pretty clear that the Pats weren't really rushing on that one, they were playing contain, if you look at 0:05 Rodgers starts to step to maybe run and the lane closes down and he has to retreat. They only start to bring pressure when he has run back to the 20.

I've subluxed my shoulder quite a few times. Now it grinds around in the socket when I shrug it. Its sore/unstable for a few days afterwards but a week later it usually is an afterthought.

Hope so. 'bout time we had an official internet medical guesser.

Hightowers shoulder all shmessed up. Hopefully he can be back soon.

Ha! I was going to say the same thing. NE could easily have beaten a few of those guys if they were willing to beak contain on Rodgers and allow him to run or roll out on a broken play. Whoever labeled that doesn't have the first clue about what NE was trying to accomplish there.

I'm in a bad mood, but not enough so that I cant commend somebody on a very mature response

Geez. I watched it several times and it doesn't look like all that much happening. Makes me wonder if he had some preexisting injury or weakness for it to just go on him like that.

Not my fault!

I hope he doesn't go all Avery Bradley on us now.
