Easley may miss week or two with hip pointer

@RapSheet: Meanwhile, sounds like #Patriots dodged a bullet with DL Dominique Easley. He has a hip pointer, may just miss a week or two, I’m told.

SA WEEEET !!!

Great news! Best news I've heard all day.

That's great news. I couldn't help but think of Rosie Colvin when they said it was a hip. So glad it's not like that.

Whew

 

[Love The Drake]

So when are we releasing Ryan and signing Pryor?

 

[raduray]

Great News!!!

As I understand it, a hip pointer is an impact injury to the iliac crest area. There was no impact on that area in the play Easley went out on. The injury must have happened earlier and that play agravated it.

Yeeessss!!!!

Hell yeah! This kid is going to tear this league up if healthy. REALLY like what I have seen so far from him this year. Great news!

I haven't watched the plays closely, but it's being widely claimed that Easley hurt it on the previous play but played one more before going out.

Yeah, he was still good, but it does look like the hip slowed him down. He was on the pass to being even more disruptive off the edge were it not for the hip. He was still good and I loved when he was on the team. Among many good plays, one that sticks out for me in late in the 2007 Indy game. His forced fumble on Manning all but ended that game and preserved the undefeated season to that point.

Thank f***ing god.

This is exactly where Easley got hurt. Landed directly on his hip bone. twitter.com/PFF_Steve/stat…

Freakin thank god.

This makes week one all good.

I thought his career was over and was RasI 2.0

 

[farn]

Even if he only returns in four - as long as he is well and contributes. I believe he is a potential difference maker.

 

[JDot]

Great news.

The fatties will be used extensively against Buffalo and Jacksonville anyway. Those two games seem like Siliga/Brown/Branch games.

As long as Easley is back in time to dig Romo's grave.
