Report: Dion Lewis to undergo 2nd surgery.

[Mack Herron]

Makes PUP more likely IMO. With Brown not practicing this could ratchet up the need for another RB.

 

[n6249c]

if true let's all hope it's a cartilege cleanup, scope the knee and good to go in weeks.

 

[Skree]

Darn. I was looking forward to seeing him soon. Hope it's something quick like n6249c says.

 

[Joey007]

So basically I'm learning this morning that our run offense will be putrid..

Lewis surgery news makes LeGarrette Blount a lock, James White a near-lock

Why did they not try to sign Karlos Williams with this news?

maybe character issues, locker room chemistry?

He would have to clear waivers to sign. Could put in a claim if no team ahead of us does. 24 hours to clear, I believe.

Kyed is wrong- White is a lock. Period.

 

[Patstopia]

I can't take the last hour of injury reports. WTF is goin on, I think I prefer to be treated like a mushroom.

I'll be optimistic. Since the initial surgery went well hopefully this is just a cleanup to get some scar tissue out of there.

RW,

What do you think about Gaffney now, a lock as well?

 

[Love The Drake]

I think BB should have a man to man with Karlos Williams if he makes it to waivers for us.
Guessing Baltimore or Indy will claim him.

RW,

Great question. I have no earthly idea.

I like Gaffney but I don't think he is a world-beater.

Assuming Lewis goes to the PUP, if it were me....

Blount
Gaffney
White
Boldin
Develin

I really wish Donald Brown was out there. Hes a decent backup. OK runner and good receiver out of the backfield.

Let's give it week.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Whew.

 

[Joey007]

Whew.

So doing the math...

Just leave him on PUP and maybe he's ready to go during the next week or two after he gets off of it?

There is no need to rush at all, IMO. Keep him there and get him set for the late season push.

 

[Mack Herron]

Trying to be optimistic, but this sounds like more than a 3-week meniscus clean up. Sounds like he will miss most of the season. I love Dion, but BB has to find another more reliable solution.
