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

[oldrover]

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

Lighten up, Francis.

Unfortunately the main reason he was available to the Patriots is because he had spent so much time injured that other teams seemed to forget about him (ha ha Pagano). This is his second injury in eight games. Part of what makes a pro valuable is the ability to stay on the field. This was a non contact injury. Too bad, but as much as I love watching him Lewis doesn't appear to be able to remain on the field.

the difference between lewis and any other back they might have to trot out there is that he can consistantly take a 3rd and long for a 1st down...via draw or screen. The guy just added another dimension to an already great offense. Basically, the pats lost an option and the less options a team has, the easier to defend.

Kiko Alonso has been out with a grade 2 ACL Sprain (loose/partial tear) which occurred week 2 against Dallas

He's expected to play again tonight

Let's pray it could be no worse for Lewis

Id take being back in 6 weeks without a doubt. No questions asked.

Here:

Thanks!

Staying cautiously optimistic....

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

Ya Brady's a complete bum without Lewis.

Yeah..... Because that's what I said...

 

[zipster9]

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

Assuming the worst for Lewis. Can the Patriots claim Archer him off waivers?

 

[Todd Bradley]

I'm no doctor, but how could they determine his ACL was "loose" when an MRI hasn't taken place yet?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Lighten up, Francis.

....and Dion Lewis is our big toe.

Hey, Sgt Hulka got blown up and came back to help use the EM-50...

It see the parallels...

 

[lamafist]

Respectfully disagree

I don't think we've seen enough of White in action to make this evaluation either way.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Here:

a partial ACL tear could be anywhere from 30% to 80%. regardless lewis will not be as explosive as much as he were before even if he plays.

 

[deters]

Better be on the phone with Cadet.

 

[VectorPrime]

Lewis could do it all. It hurts badly in so many areas to lose him.

F.UCK I hate what this sport can do to people. One little wrong juke and a career is derailed. Not to mention an entire team's season in some cases.

 

[ALP]

we havent used our mini-IR tag yet have we?

 

[Todd Bradley]

Moreno, Cadet, Archer....dare I say, Ray Rice?......nothing sexy, but there's some options out there.

Hey, before the season started, no one thought Lewis would be Lewis. All it takes is one game to turn heads and change perceptions.

 

[aluminum seats]

While white is no Lewis, I'd put him on par with vereen easily.

Well, no...

 

[SHOWTIME15]

we havent used our mini-IR tag yet have we?

yeah we did on Stork

 

[gronkykong]

James white better step it up if he is given the chance

 

[mosi]

Actually, when he walked off, it did not look that bad. God, I hope is just a sprain.

 

[moejr]

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

Bolden stepped in and caught a TD in his place.
