I read this as "knee infection" and well... I'm glad its not that at least. But what the fu.ck happened?

nnnnooooooooooooooo

any news on edelman?

Most knee injections help lubricate the joint/reduce swelling and ease pain.

Why does he need this if he only has a bone bruise? I hate to stir up panic but it's probably worse than a bone bruise.

Before anyone freaks out, this was him yesterday.:

The injection could be a cortisone shot. Still not good that he is in the hospital, but the injection may be nothing more than what he could have gotten in the training room.

I'm thinking he got the Synvisc ........ otherwise known as chicken cartilage ... good ****.

Not sure it's quite time yet. We knew that the bone bruise/sprain he sustained in November would cause him to feel pain in the knee for some time. He probably re-injured it, and so he required an injection to help reduce the pain and/or inflammation. The injection is suppose to offer a powerful relief for both symptoms. He won't be 100%, but this may help him manage the pain and still be effective.

And the hospital is about a 100yds from Gillete.

Of course he's going to play, its the playoffs! He played in Super Bowl 46 on one leg. The point is he sucked. And he might suck this weekend.
