Jacoby Brissett had surgery on his thumb today (UPDATE: will be placed on IR)

[Soul_Survivor88]

Don't know if this means he's going on IR....

 

[Froob]

So he won't start Sunday? Sounds like Brady might get a chance to steal his job back.

Predictable. Kudos to him for playing last week.

Sounds like someone is jumping on a credit train.

Not sure if this was discussed elsewhere but I am surprised Garopplo didn't dress last week now that we know Brissett's injury was bad enough to require surgery.

Exactly. That musta been one hell of a thumb injury last Sunday if it needs surgery. Biscuit is a warrior who Did His Job. Major kudos.

After watching that, it's 1000 times easier to watch Faces of Death or a slasher film than actual surgery being performed.

Gross.

Wow. Faces of Death. That's an oldie. I remember hearing about that from an old friend and watching it back in the '80's. Not for the queasy

Quite a cut for a brave young soldier ..

God forbid, if Brady goes down with a season-ending injury, is it possible to place Brissett back on the roster?

Another QB? They've gone how many years with only 2 QBs during Brady's tenure? Was there any other year other than Mallett/Hoyer they've had 3 QBs?

We still got the return from IR designation to use at any point, so JB can still be back.

Of course - in 8 weeks (can join for practice after 6). But there might be other players going on IR and only one can return.

It's 8 weeks minimum on IR. In theory, they could activate Brissett instead of Vollmer (or anyone else who goes to IR early enough to be brought back).

Hope they don't make him take that haircut.

I know that there's been a lot of criticism of Brisette for the Buffalo game, but that dude f**cking man'd up last week. Sure he didn't score any touchdowns, but for a rookie QB playing with that busted up hand - gotta give him respect. Hope he heals up and comes back to play at a higher level.

Yup. I was really surprised at how little mention there was of his obvious injury after the Bills game. Didn't want to clutter up the juicier story lines I guess.
