I can't remember if he was injured on that play diving out of bounds or before it.

It was that play

Bubble wrap him and out him on the shelf.

I'm for it.

Dude looked like he was in significant pain. Couldn't tell if it was his neck, shoulder, or ribs. Hopefully it's not similar to KK's issue.

Time for the $3M Man to rumble again!

Transcendent talent signs major extension and then is injury plagued for the rest of his career?

Yep, that sounds like the panther way.

Why is it when we pay people they start breaking down?

I know that happens to us a lot, but in all honesty it's not just us. That kind of thing happens all over the league.

Still sucks when it's us though...

I was thinking broken collar bone. The way he was feeling under his pads on the sideline.

IR him. Because -and I mean this in the very best sense, and with serious respect and hope for CMC - we don't need him this year. For the quality of play we can expect with the amount of talent we have on the roster, having CMC suit up on game day won't make the difference between a W and an L for us. If it's a winnable game, we have the talent and gameplan in place to win it with or without him. If we're outmatched, having CMC on the roster won't be enough to win us the game, as evidenced yesterday.

We need CMC in a year where he will be the difference maker to win the unwinnable games, and claw our way to a possible championship. That ain't this year, so let's save him the abuse.

Team is not going anywhere this season. Save him for next season when the team might be ready to compete

He would have been in a lot more pain if he broke his collar bone. This is likely a minor sprain.

not necessarily.   adrenaline is a helluva drug.   and he was hurt before the diving out of bounds play.  he shouldn't have been put back in.

he also could have separated his collarbone.   not much you can do about that or it happening again and again.

well we've made a giant step from when we paid them after they started breaking down

[NAS]

So his body starts breaking down right after he gets paid.  Sucks

He wouldn't have gone back in with a break or a tear.

I sure hope we're past the days of those idiotic medical decisions.

[CBDellinger]

Looked like an AC joint sprain.  If so, no big deal... he might miss one week at most.  Really just a pain tolerance issue.

From everything I have read and seen, Rhule has zero influence on what happens in the trainers room. They inform him of when players can play, and he listens. No push back.
