Patriots Injury News Will Campbell Week 12 Injury [11/26 update: Placed on IR]

Still waiting for someone to give me an example of a guy getting carted off, towel over head, and to come back and play in 7/8 weeks. Siragusa was a suspected spine injury, thus no towel
 
Also was never ruled out of the game either. Usually that happens fairly soon.
 
Here's the hit. From the side.


All these guys hiding behind towels. You with the sad eyes... Don't be discouraged. Oh I realize it's hard to take courage.

 
Dr Chao must have insider contacts that told him, or he's working off the public rumors post clinical exam. That looks like a classic injury mechanism- external lateral force to the knee on a planted foot- for the terrible triad. Any orthopods on here? I can't understand how someone can say it's just the MCL based on watching a video.

No towel, but....
 
If Dr. Chao saw that angle it would explain why he thought it was a sprained MCL. Even if Campbell and Wilson are 6 weeks they would make it back for the playoffs. Can we get a 1st round Bye without them and Milton? That might be tough. I don't think Brown and Lowe are as bad as I think others believe, but it will cost us a lot in both the running and passing game.
Run game will probably be hurt more than pass game. And the run game wasn’t very good to begin with. It may be a big load on Drake to carry things.

That said, they can afford to drop a game to NYG next week out of conference and then get a bye. Buffalo’s defense isn’t very good, so perhaps that’s still manageable. Baltimore may be tougher. But after that, it’s the Jets and Dolphins who will be playing for draft position by then. If NE goes 3-2 the rest of the way with one of the losses being vs NYG, I think the 1st seed is still in the realm of possibility since it’s mainly just Denver that’s jockeying with them, and Denver will potentially drop a couple more too, with games remaining against the Packers, Chiefs, Chargers and Jaguars who are all playoff or fringe playoff teams.

They absolutely cannot afford to lose to a 2-10 team.
They would fall behind Denver give back the 1 game lead over Indy and be 1 game ahead of Buffalo.
Next week is a must win game.

Every game is a must win game when viewed one week at a time. I’m talking about what’s likely/possible.
 
I don’t think LG position will suffer much if at all. I expect McDaniels to give Lowe plenty of help going forward with chips and what not.

Feel bad for Campbell, hopefully it’s not a season ending.
 
I’m assuming they would be compensated.

She/he would have to wear earplugs since he'd spend the entire time (+/- 5 min.) complaining.

When you are essentially tied for the 1 seed and have a 2 game division lead with a game left with that team every game IS must win.
The only goal right now is home field and the bye.
If we can’t beat a 2-10 team at home in week 14, we aren’t finishing strong in week 15-18.
 
Some people here are probably happy.
