I couldn't believe Cam was even ready for the opener.

Was he?

Liz Frank and Tommy John have hated this team for decades

I remember in preseason there was concern it was a Lisfranc injury, but it was never confirmed, and by extension, it was insinuated the injury was less than that.

Who knows at this point, but I do think having Cam return after the bye is realistic and at this point, probably the best for all involved.

How quick people forget that Cam looked really good in this offense last year, too, before his injury.

We have 3 manageable games (@Texans, Jaguars, @Bucs (London)) before the bye.

If we can get to 3-3 at the bye and get a fully healthy Cam back, we will be set up to at least compete down the stretch.

Hopefully Kyle Allen continues to play well... I'm going to leave it at that for now

This entire staff needs to go...unbelievable they put him out there.

If Rivera had knowledge that cam has a lisfranc injury (which he has to cuz he's the coach) and let him play anyways,  it's just another reason to fire him. 

The team doctors are who made the decision to let Cam play. I know it makes for good talk radio, but Rivera wouldn't override a doctor's decision if they felt it was serious.

Who benched Cam after TB?  Did Cam pull himself because of the injury or did the coaching staff finally do it so he can heal?

nah, if you're a vegan it heals in a week.

Rivera has made it clear he'll do whatever it takes to keep his job

You know what Rivera's response would be to this, right?

(he's already basically said it)

Team doctors don't have the power to bench anybody. All they can do is advise the coach. It's still the coach's decision. You just generally don't expect the coach to go against the doctors.

Corey Miller (Christian Miller's father) former player

Just said he's reached out to his guys about that injury.  Just said if the ligament isnt off, it wont require surgery and is a month(s) to heal.  And said if its off, it will require surgery and will be season injury

 

 

 

FWIW this is the same injury that ended Santonio Holmes career

Newton went to Rivera and said his foot was hurting.
