Week 15 Injury Watch - Same old story, same old song and dance

[VectorPrime]

This sport sucks

So we got

Amendola - looks to have re-aggravated his knee injury. Went into lockerroom and did not return
Hightower - looks to have re-aggravated his knee injury. Came back out of the lockeroom and remained on the sidelines.
Chung - hip injury. Tried to stay on sideline but went into the lockerrom, not to return.
Lafell - came off gingerly after catching a long pass. Remained on the sidelines kind of bending his foot
Gronk - came off gingerly after two endzone plays. Trying to walk it off on the sideline
Hicks - no idea but apparently was out for a time

God help us

Right near the end of the season. That's not good.

Gronk is fine. Hightower is probably fine (but should sit next week if he is at risk). Hicks seemed okay too.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

Lafell's injury could be concerning.

 

[Bill Lee]

Repeat after me: Football is a contact sport.

Bill is doing a bad job managing those injuries, no need for Hightower to be on the field today against this garbage Titans. Amendola returning kicks is also bad risk management.

 

[Mack Herron]

LaFell returned. Chung big concern.

Repeat after me: Football is a contact sport.

Many of these posts are embarrassing.

whatever you say genius.

I have to believe that the DIKEMBE chant and spell worked and everyone will be all right.

whatever you say genius.

Am I wrong? Gronk was back in the game after his wincing. Hightower was hanging out chatting with his teammates on the sidelines. Doesn't take much to come to that conclusion.

Hightower's left knee is wrapped but that's not unexpected.

I don't know whether it's by design , but these inopportune whistles that are negating big plays means we have to give the starters more snaps for "grind it out" wins. The longer they're out there, the higher the injury risk.

They would probably wrap it no matter what after today, I'm more interested to see how Chung and Dola are doing

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

On a side note we won and are quite possibly one win away from securing HFA. But the big news is football players were injured today playing football.

I didn't see one injury that looked like it should end anyone's season. If that is the case -- one never knows -- the story here is the #1 seed.

Hightower walking fine out of the locker room. Declined to talk.

Interesting that people are concerned about injuries to LaFell and Chung, let alone Amendola.

Chung of 2012 wasn't good. This years Chung is.

The Martin "block" on the White gamebreaker was THE WORST CALL OF THE YEAR

Early optimism on Chung's hip. Gonna be sore but belief is he just took a hard shot that needs to be shaken out.
