RR: planning to play without Luke

[Zaximus]

Sucks and has me a bit worried, could be something really worse, we'll see.

I hate it for him, he probably won't make Pro Bowl/all-pro missing this many games now.   I'm sure his health is #1 thing but someone like him will probably be disappointed.

Superbowl players don't go to the Pro Bowl anyways :)

Prolly has a knot in his neck that needs to heal up.

The only sketchy thing is just the way they are teasing us saying there is a chance. I wish they would come out and say yes we are keeping out until after our bye week. 

 

I honestly didn't like him being on the sideline last game. The noise.. just the movement around him. He didn't look all there to be honest... Let AJ Mayo Thompson Colin Jones disrupt some Winston

Nothing has ever been easy for this team. Let's keep grindin.

we don't keep grindin. We Keep Pounding! That we do., as players and as fans.

Nothing is easy in the NFL.

Jared Allen is here to help us 

Luke needs a nice bye coming up we need him for the Hawks game

[Cary Kollins]

debated creating a thread about this....

 

Anyone else think Lovie Smith is throwing some shade at Luke here:

 

"I know he's been out with an injury. You want to see great players in the league not be out because of injury. But if he chooses to not play this weekend, we'd be all right with that, too."

To me, that seems like a careful choice of words to downplay the significance of concussions.

As Bill Voth pointed out on twitter, it comes off similar to Marvin Lewis' comments last year when he said concussions linger longer "because of the media".
