Hightower out for the year with a torn pec

[Mack Herron]

Huge loss. Could change the trade picture.

Wow.

This is a pretty devastating injury.

 

[patsinthesnow]

That is an absolutely brutal injury. It’s going to be on Tom more than ever if we reach Minnesota.

Ugh, awful news... Things were finally looking up as a whole too.

Still, next man up. Harris should be more involved now, McClellin will come back (although i think he's pretty mediocre)...

BB was smart to not overpay for him

[Rob0729]

Although he is a great player, we really should have seen this coming. It was his pec that scared people off and this is a trend with him and our inside LBs (this is what killed Mayo's career too).

I’m so ****ing sick of this ****

I’m so sick of this ****ing ****. Every god damn year

Probably more about stepping up, mixing it up. Id guess Harris' pick up doesn't look like “a waste of cap space“ anymore..

It sucks but every team goes through this every year, we just don't pay attention to the other teams.

Edelman and Hightower are two of our top 4 players. I don’t see another team going through that

Hightower's a terrific player, but it seems increasingly likely that this I how it's probably always going to be with him. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Even with McClellin this is now a weak group. I would not be surprised if they look to add athleticism and outside rush.

The Texans lost their two best defensive players for the season on the same drive.

They're huge losses. No doubt. Although other contenders have had some major ones as well. Green Bay (Rodgers), Philadelphia (Peters, Hicks - 2 of their top 5 best players), Houston (Watt, Mercilus - 2 of their top 5).
