Schefter on Lewis: No swelling yet (good) but ACL loose (bad)

[dannydyn]

If he had a torn ACL he would have swelling due to the torn blood vessels in the ligament. The twitter doctor seems to be somewhat stupid referring to the ACL as lose.

He must have been quoting schefter, who appears to have diagnosed Lewis through osmosis....

I have a good feeling about Lewis being back this season.

I'm with you brother, I'm with you...

I think we'll be fine if he is out for the year like its feared and move ahead.

But damn, I'm gonna miss watching this guy.

ACL loose is a VERY bad sign!
Swelling for isolated tear often doesn't happen until overnight

Does this quack have any credibility?

How the **** does Schefter even get this information? It's not like the Pats are forthcoming.

Next man up. Damn

There is no next man up. The offense will have to readjust how they approach things. They can still do it but it will be a step back.

 

[dannydyn]

We won the superbowl without Lewis, we'll adjust. One way or another...

More amendola. Its what they did in the jets game. Since lewis came back he hasn't been as big of a part of the plan.

And James white

Maybe Lewis' Agent?

You would think ProFootballDoc would have a job with a NFL if he was credible.

 

[sieglo]

This sucks. Lewis added an irreplaceable dimension to this offense. Crap!

Real talk - did you have Lewis on your 53 man roster on June 1st of this year?

Leaks happen. And Schefter is as good as they come.

No. Hes been an incredible surprise that has made us better than we would be without him. So if hes out we WILL take a step back

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Lewis is a huge loss if he's gone but this is easily the deepest offense we have ever had. We have Amendola wasting away as the 4th or 5th option.

 

[Ross12]

Pats better be on the phone with Dri Archer's agent tonight either way.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

Can't even try to downplay how huge this is.

He asked Mort.

You guys jumping on Schefter make no sense to me. The guy is as reliable a sports reporter as there is.
