Kurt Coleman Suffered A Sprained MCL - Will Miss Some Time

Recommended Posts

He will be out the next two games since we play the Eagles on Thursday. With the Bears after that it would make sense to rest him for that game as well and target a week 8 return against the Bucs. Southward will almost certainly be promoted to the 53. We may need another S depending on Cox's status.

Looks like acquiring safety depth is in order.  I hope old Hurndog was paying attention during his GM101 class.

i wouldn't get your hopes up. i wrote the coursebook for it and just used poo i googled, usually off of browns fan forums.

According to sports injury predictor, a DB with a sprained MCL, on average, misses 1.3 weeks.

Average probably doesn't apply to 36 year olds.

But, I've torn both MCLs. Hurts like hell for a few days but gets a lot better surprisingly quickly. These were grade 2 tears. Did the first one when I was about 29 and the second around 33.

Coleman is 29.

Disagree about the Bears. If he's healthy, I don't see why we would rest him for no real reason. It's a sprain, not a tear. I'm fairly certain he'll play if he's ready.

    • I've been screaming for DE for months. Forbidden topic indeed. 
    • Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ? 
    • Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
