Jacoby Brissett Facing Surgery For Thumb [MOD EDIT: May not need surgery - who knows anymore]

[IllegalContact]

In all seriousness, is it possible to have the surgery, say tomorrow, and for him to be ready by next Sunday?

Fitzpatrick was back the following week last year, but it was non-throwing hand........he will not be able to grip the ball well

Meanwhile, back at Patriot Place:

"Coach, shall I Fire up the disinformation machine?"

 

[juny]

what is the estimate for returning from this injury? can they go jimmy g next week with edelman as emergency?

MCI says out "for a few weeks"....FWIW

This.
In all seriousness, we don't need a turn over blizzard from our QB, however inadvertent.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Confused media does it again! I think it lies somewhere in the middle of OUT FOREVER and a few weeks.

Fk. Now the mediots will voice -" jimmy should play". I doubt Jimmy will be ready next week.

I think he will be good enough to do what Brissett did last night minus the long balls

doesn't matter, though.....it's the Bills.......the Cardinals should leave Buffalo in total chaos an unable to compete the following week....

and even if the Pats wind up losing next week....which they won't.....but if they do, 3-1 was something we accepted as good before the season started

 

[IllegalContact]

hope so!!!

 

[The Gr8est]

Gr8!

That is better than I hoped. I was hoping that if they can manage it for another week, then he could have surgery when Brady comes back.

 

[Gronkowski123]

wow

our qb's are dropping like flies. i hope nothing like this happens to the GOAT

Why would BSPN get the scoop?

Some classic stuff here already: http://boards.buffalobills.com/showthread.php?532252-Brissett-Hurt

Bills fan: "If the Pats win with Edelman at QB, I will kiss BB's feet."

Me: "Can Rex watch?"

 

[SEA_Pat]

Great points manman.

Well, he IS a man's man.

 

[Reckedtrek]

So just to clarify... if the Pats sign me to play QB for one game and then cut me when Brady returns and then I post here on Pats Fans and refer to the Pats as "we", and then I get **** for it...

can I tell the **** givers to STFU?

I mean, you know.... just to know ahead of time.

Sistas' be doin' it for themselves.....IDK.

Ways off, but ... if Buffalo falls to 0-4 losing to a QB the Patriots sign and start off the street, Rex is getting fired that Monday.

Is Brian Hoyer available for 1 week?

Why would BSPN get the scoop?

Yeah, I'd trust the local guys over those schmoes.

@jeffphowe
Before the apparent injury, Brissett was 6 of 9 for 82 yards. After the Wilfork hit, Brissett was 5 of 10 for 19 yards.

Our rookie played better than he appeared.

Hopefully, he's talking about himself.
