McCourty's Injury

[pork3]

I heard possibly a separated shoulder.
Hopefully he's not IR'd...

VERY worried about this one. Desptie the bad rap he is getting he has been as good over the last 6 weeks as he was last year.
Didn't he play with a bad injury last year?

Ian Rapaport said that players tod him that McCourty said he would be ok "for whatever that means", but he was seen in the lockerroom in sling.

He plays on a lot of the special teams units as well.

Someone posted that a Type I separated shoulder usually is healed in 1-2 weeks. Hopefully, this is the case.

He had a rib injury last year. This separated shoulder may keep him out as little as 1-2 weeks. He'll only be IRed if it's more serious than that.

Yes, I believe it was an injury to his ribs during the Bears game last year.
Looking around, a separated shoulder (depending on the severity) is anywhere from a few weeks to months in terms of recovery time.

God, this sucks...

Looked like either a shoulder or collar bone injury to me. I can easily see him missing time here. Hopefully worse than it looked.

What I know on Devin McCourty's injury: Nothing is broken and more tests are needed. Should know more tomorrow

Separated shoulder was exactly what I thought it was when I saw it, and doubly so when I heard about him not raising his arm over his head. Guessing Grade 3ish. I recently had a grade 2 and I could only raise my arm under massive pain, figure he has a much higher pain threshold than I do.

Relatively good news. When I saw him come off the field with his arm hanging like that I thought it was a broken collarbone for sure.

mccorty has not been the best this year but he still our best cb... we can afford to miss him next week , not against the eagles...

 

[PatsBoy12]

I will not be surprised at all if he is IRed. In fact, I think that may be the more likely scenario. This is just pure speculation on my part, but it looked that bad to me when it happened.

Reiss and rap are reporting its a seperated shoulder

Are you a doctor, or did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

hoping the 1-2 week timetable is realistic. Need him back soon.

They are playing KC next week

Actually, if there's any time of the year to get such an injury (not that there is a "good" time for anything like that), it's now. Easiest finishing 7-game stretch in the league, playing some horrific passing teams (Mia, Was, Den, etc.). But it's also right at the beginning of this stretch, so it gives him the maximum time to heal for the playoffs. If they get the #2 seed, he could take 8 weeks to heal and be ready for the divisional round.

Again, this stinks on a host of levels, but this would be the "best" time of the year for it to happen.

Heal well Devin

Disagree there is no good time, and there are no easy opponents.. On any given Sunday..
