[Patjew]

This is good news. RT @NEPD_Loyko: LaFell is walking around on the sideline. No Trainers near him. Looks fine. #Patriots

 

[JMC00]

Saw him at the end near Brady with his winter hat on with his pads still on.

 

[BHSL2]

Said he was celebrating with the team, moving his shoulder.

 

[Bradyking12]

We have Dobson and Tyms and you could always have Mr Touchdown play more of a receiving roll

 

[Brit patriot]

This all seems good news...have to say I crapped myself

 

[rfh]

All I could think was how needless that play was. I wish BB would take the best players out once the game is effectively over... but he hasn't called yet to ask about my thoughts on his decisions. LOL

Hard to believe after the early part of the season that LaFell has exploded the way he has. He is so vital to our offense.

 

[Danger Zone]

This looks a little encouraging:

Med staff has since left LaFell alone, but he is still tightening his left fist and loosening it up on the sidelines.

Sounds more like a stinger than any significant injury like a broken collar bone.

That was @Rob0729 in the Game Day thread.

The opening and clenching of the hand does make me think (and hope) stinger.

After this intense electrical discharge, the nerves' motor fibers that allow movement in the arm do not function well. The dysfunction is evident by weakness in the arm. The weakness often involves the muscles that allow the athlete to lift the arm away from the body, to bend the elbow, and to grip. Symptoms also include sensations of tingling and of burning or stinging pain in the arm and hand. The extent of the damage varies considerably. The pain usually lasts only a few minutes, but the weakness can last weeks, months, or years. Rarely, the injury may cause permanent damage.

WR Brandon LaFell, who left game in 4th quarter, had left shoulder looked. at and didn't return, is here in locker room. Looks to be OK.

Mike Reiss ?@MikeReiss 53s54 seconds ago
As always, tough to make snap judgments on injuries so best to take cautious approach. But LaFell's presence in room looks like good sign.

WR Brandon LaFell says "I'm good." Adds that if there was a game tonight, he would play.

YAY!!!!

 

[zipster9]

he walked to the sideline. But, if you noticed, he was not moving his left shoulder or left hand, while walking around in the sidelines..

IF he cannot go against Packers, who would be his replacement? Tyms? Wright?

Thank God!

Did this really deserve FOUR exclamation marks? Plus, you won't learn anything definitive till Weds at the earliest so it's kind of pointless to get worked up prematurely.

Yes!!!!

 

[Joey007]

Still bothers me for that play was completely unnecessary. We did not need to go for it on that play.

Thats a very stinger-like symptom as well.
