Sony Michel Injury (update: Expected to Play Week 10 vs Titans)

[One-If-By-Sea]

I wish, but that definitely looked like a knee being twisted back. Looked really bad.

Luckily it was on the Bears grass field so his cleats didn't get stuck in the astroturf or whatever it is called. Natural grass is still the most gentle for knee and ankle twists and impact.

We can only hope its not as bad as it seems.

I expect him back. Until he returns though, the challenge falls to the scouting dept. and coaches to cobble together some sort of credible running game.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

I am hopeful

All speculations, may not be a knee at all. We will see and know tomorrow.

Fingers crossed, if it's not for the season hopefully he'll have enough time to shake the rust off before the playoffs, unless by big luck he only misses a few games.

Joker's apparently been deep in his cups today.

Also, at this point wouldn’t a “Pats fear its an ACL” by now? Thats the only hope I’m clinging to.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Jeremy Hill's looked similar. Twisted foot, etc.

I'm done being hopeful with these. I'm assuming its an IR without the possibility of parole.

The field surface doesn't matter on that type of hit. It was bad.

Feel terrible for Michel but sadly this is not an unexpected outcome. MANY of us had real reservations about drafting a RB in the 1st round, nevermind a RB with KNEE problems and we said so at the time. This team had/has glaring holes on defense and those needs were not addressed with those 1st round draft choices.
Not a second guess at all, Sony Michel was a VERY DUMB pick considering where in the draft you picked him Bill.

Yeah usually by now you hear those dreaded 3 letters.

Oh please. A RB with zero history of knee problems ever in his life would have been injured on a play like that.

Hill's injury was the same and he had zero history of knee problems.

There is no proof of Sony's history of knee problems made this new injury more of a liklihood

Nah, Hill's knee was obviously blown even live. With this one we wouldn't even be certain about what body part was injured if not for the team announcement.
