Cam not playing Thurs, has rib injury

[Silent Majority]

 "DA" fanboys. DA is at best, a back up. Stop acting like he is the answer and the offense will be fine without Cam, "no prob".  Did ya see the damn near 95 yard pick six, he threw? That's who the true DA is. He, after all these years, still cannot read a defense. Give it a rest already. If he plays, he plays.

Report: McNabb has broken rib

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 13, 2009, 4:39 PM EDT

As folks in Philly celebrate their local NFL team’s season-opening win with a mug full of suds, they might soon be crying in their beer.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb suffered a broken rib when he was hit in the end zone after scoring a touchdown in Sunday’s 38-10 shellacking of the Carolina Panthers.

It’s not yet known whether McNabb will miss any time, or whether he’ll suck it up and play.  (After all, it’s not like he has swine flu or polio.  Or lupus.)

If he can’t go, Kevin Kolb will get the start next week, when the Saints come walking in loose single-file fashion to the Linc.

Tom Brady played in 2009 with 3 broken ribs....Belichick kept it on the down low. Then once it was found out he just claimed it was a rib injury.

I do wonder if Ron gives a little too much

Yes, McRibb jokes were aplenty during those days.

Cam will probably be ready to go week 1. The pain will probably subside in a couple of days. Tony Romo had a more serious injury in 2011 where he had a hairline fracture of a rib but also a punctured lung because of the fracture. He wore a protective vest for a couple of games. and the injury did not cause Romo to miss any games. Too many alarmists on this board.  

 

 

This, and the pre-season should be two games.

I remember hurting my ribs. Coughing and laughing hurt. It also takes time too time to fully heal. I remember going about two months in pain. Let's hope Cam heals fast because he will be in a lot of pain come week one.

Also have to remember that he went back in the game.  Probably thought he just got the wind knocked out of him.

 

If he only misses 1 play after fracturing a rib he will start the season opener after 2 weeks.

 

He's one tough motherfugger.

^ I saw that this morning.  It's pretty ridiculous.  A testament to our O-line and the fact that he holds on to the ball too long some times.

If I was a betting man I wouldnt bet on Rivera putting Newton in against TB.

 

I think he should let the rib heal and let the o line get its poo together before putting a gimpy Cam back out there.

His injury had nothing to do with the o line - more a testament to poor decision making on Cams part going into his 4 th year.

I'd ay it was mostly do to his 367 rush attempts being factored in

I know it's anecdotal, but...

Back in high school I suffered bruised ribs. The day it happened it hurt, but the next three days I couldn't even breathe deeply or walk upright; whenever I did it was like a knife was poking my ribs. By gameday on Friday I was fine. I'm hoping these two weeks allow Cam to have enough time to rest and heal.
