Monitoring Wynn injury situation (Placed on IR)

[Patriot Missile]

Not the best news but not the worst either. He came back from a long layoff and played well upon returning. Hopefully he can do the same with this one. No reason to think he can’t.

To have him for the stretch run is by far the most important thing. Just hoping he comes back 100% and stays healthy.

When Edelman and Gronkowski were put on season ending ir that really was a terrible feeling knowing they weren’t coming back and they’d have to face the best teams without. At least with Wynn their is hope that help is on its way.

I’m behind the subs all the way to hold down the fort.

Unless one of them has a setback, at this point Wynn and Harry are locks to be the IR return guys. Tough luck for Cajuste and Meredith. Its a much better system than before but I still don’t understand why they limit teams to two players only. You lose all IR players for a minimum 8 games, so teams gaming the system to maximize roster flexibility will be limited. There should be a limit but 3 to 5 seems more reasonable.

Watching the Patriots rebuild their Oline on the fly is a reminder of why they’ve been so good for so long. Of the 9 players they probably expected to head into the season with, they were down 6 of them including 3 starters before the 1st quarter was over last Sunday, and I still thought their OLine played as well as any line in the five games I watched good portions of last weekend. Most teams would have been in shambles considering the circumstances but not the Patriots.

Things will be fine people. By the time Wynn returns, this OLine will be as good and as deep as the one they thought they had in July. Watch and appreciate what your seeing.

 

[Tony2046]

Well the good news is that they have the weapons to mask a weak oline.

Devlin, White, two guys who can get open quickly ( Brown and Edelman) and another tall big bodied receiver with great hands.

Still in the weak part of the schedule.

Hopefully Wynn is good to go in 8 weeks.

Meredith and Cajuste can still be activated and not count against the 2 IR returnees. They are on the NFI and PUP lists which are not subject to the IR limits.

Cajuste isn’t on IR. He can come off NFI.

 

[DaBruinz]

OK, how about the fact that he is on the IR, that is the biggest red flag, more than his injury history. We don't really know what this injury is, we know he had a MRI, and now he is on the IR. To think this is a nothing injury, and in 8 weeks he is back, is based on nothing. That is just a wish. Logic says, he is on the IR, most people don't come back the same season, I know teams can pull 2 guys from the list, but there is a greater chance t he never gets pulled off of it.

I have not read one reported detail, that the Pats plan is to rehab him, and get him back this season. If that report is out there, please share. You are all too cavalier about the IR distinction. I personally would be shocked if we see him again this year.

WOW. You really love talking out your rear end. YOU are the one being "cavalier".

The fact you want to claim his being IRed is a "RED FLAG" without you having any sort of context is asinine. Plain and simple.

- NO ONE has claimed it's a "nothing injury". That's you throwing out a red herring.
- There are PLENTY of injuries that players have come back from in 8 weeks.
- Considering the limitations on teams in terms of bringing back players from IR, you're claim that there is a "greater chance of not coming off" is based on pure conjecture on your part. You have ZERO facts to support your claim. Particularly in light of the fact that there has been ZERO statements on the severity of his injury.

- There is no "detailed report". There won't ever be with the Patriots. This is just another red herring from you.

You're red herrings are what are illogical. Furthermore, only in your fantasy land was I "cavalier about IR distinctions". Especially considering I made ZERO distinctions in my post about IR.

What I DID make in my post is a statement that you didn't know wtf you were talking about when it came to Wynn's injury or your statement about how good a person's body was built for taking a pounding in football.

I suggest you think about your posts going forward because, to this point, you're looking more and more like a worthless troll.

 

[DaBruinz]

So the two slots designated to returned are filled, can't lose other top players.

There is no such thing a "slots designated to return" anymore. There hasn't been for 2 years. Teams are allowed to choose ANY 2 players IRed after the start of the season to return.

 

[DaBruinz]

What we do know is the man has had difficulty staying healthy and it's not trending in the right direction.

Sorry, but this is an incorrect statement. What we KNOW is that he's suffered 2 different injuries in consecutive seasons. One was a TORN ACHILLES. The other was an unknown injury to his foot that is rumored to be Turf Toe. Both happened while engaged with other players, if I remember correctly about the Achilles injury. The foot injury sure looked like he was engaged and that his foot got stepped on by an opposing player..

It's not like they were non-contact injuries.. Outside forces were involved and crappy luck. That's significantly different than someone being "unable to stay healthy" since that implies that there is something physically wrong with their body instead of crappy accidents..

 

[DaBruinz]

I disagree with Barth. I think it says that it's more likely that Benenoch will be the odd man out when Cajuste is healthy.

As @Kenneth Sims stated, Cajuste and Meredith don't count against the IR as they are on NFI and PUP respectively. They can start practicing after 6 games.

 

[PittPatriot]

To that point, there was a significant period of time when Patriots fans were unwilling to trust Edelman's health because of recurring foot injuries. To the point where people would yell at Belichick for having him return punts, as if that was the issue and not just ill luck.

Yes. I recall Edelman getting hurt every time he caught the ball.
Things have changed for sure.

I don't think this affects either of them, but personally I don't think Meredith is a serious candidate for this year anyway. I'm not sure there would be a spot on the 53 for him, much like there wasn't room for Thomas. Maybe if things go south with AB.

Idk about that. I think bill likes his potential if he’s healthy from that knee. Still young unlike thomas. Also you have to keep these guys because you never know with Gordon. Still worry about him making the season.

 

[Brady6]

None of that answers my question.

I have some questions for you -

What did Malcolm Mitchell do to cause knee injuries?
What did Gronkowski do to have so many back issues?
What does Todd Gurley do to cause so many knee injuries?
Why did Terrell Davis retire so young because of knee injuries?
Percy Harvin?

Are you saying that having a torn Achilles makes it more likely you’ll get turf toe?

Mitchell tore his ACL multiple times.
Gronkowski's back issues? He sustained a back injury in college that required surgery.
Gurley? Again, multiple knee injuries and possibly a lack of cartilege in his knee.
Davis? Multiple knee injuries.
Percy Harvin? You mean the guy who spent 8 years in the league and retired due to severe migraines?

Seriously. You're throwing things at the wall to see if anyone will agree with you. The reality is that every single one of "examples" is completely unrelated to the issues that Wynn is having.

 

[Deus Irae]

Well see, this is how fans try to seem sophisticated. If a guy gets hurt once, it happens. If he gets hurt TWICE, well that’s totally different. They’re injury prone. They’re made of glass.

Happens all the time...guys get the “injury prone” tag, then they get healthy and lo & behold, it’s not a problem anymore.

Wynn will be fine.

Not this again. Why do you people insist on putting forth this gripe every year? Every year, it gets explained, yet you all refuse to simply accept basic English when it comes to this. If a guy gets hurt a lot, he's injury prone. And, then, if a guy stops getting hurt, he's no longer prone to injury.

Injury prone is definitional. it means frequently injured. So, yes, the reality of life is that, if a player is frequently injured, he is, by definition, injury prone.

injury-prone
idiom
Definition of injury-prone
: frequently injured

Definition of INJURY-PRONE

 

[Deus Irae]

It isn't about whether it was a "wasted" pick or not. It is about the arrogance and entitlement inherent in using terms like "wasted" about a complex process (drafting), from long distance, with almost no transparency, and about which you have maybe 2% of the information the Pats team does.

Yeah, it's almost as if these people are on a sports forum, discussing sports and sports related items, and giving their take on what's happening in the world of sports.


It's just crazy, man!

 

[Deus Irae]

Are you saying that having a torn Achilles makes it more likely you’ll get turf toe?

Not with regards to these two specific injuries, but you do know that some injuries can make you prone to other injuries, especially during the rehab process, but also afterwards, right? Overcompensation is one of the reasons that can happen, for example.
