In fairness to Rhule, it's possible that the fracture wasn't picked up by the medical staff until this week. Sometimes, even doctors can overlook something. I fractured my toes years ago, but happened to have an appointment for a physical that week. My doctor pointed it out after the X-ray. I was a little surprised to see how small it appeared on the screen.

Back in 2000, Bronco RB (and Hall of Famer) Terrell Davis was coming off a knee injury in 1999 that would eventually result in his premature retirement. He said that when he hit the field again that season he knew something was off even though he had been cleared to play. Five games in the year he had to shut it down. According to an internet site, this was due to a stress condition in the injured leg. But, I can remember reading at that time that he had a fracture in his leg was un-diagnosed/missed at the start of the season.

I don't think the staff would send him out there with a fractured scapula on purpose.

They sent him out there with an injured shoulder.  We know that at least. 

Is Matt Rhule having a presser today? Hope reporters press him on answers.  Oddly enough, if someone is going to ask right questions....it shockingly will be.....Joe Person lol.  He has actually gotten better of late.  I know you aren't suppose to say that though.

So, the histrionics in this thread aside, what likely happened is that he has a very minor, hairline fracture in his shoulder.  It likely happened in the Falcons game, but was really minor, and Sam probably told the team that he was sore, but it was no big deal, so he could play.  He didnt do much throwing at all during the week because he was in the protocol, so nobody really knew how bad it was, or how it was going to affect him.  Then, in the 2nd Quarter of the Pats game, he takes a hit and realizes "Oh poo, something really is not right in my shoulder".  Continues to play like poo, and then figures out he needs an MRI/X-Ray/whatever postgame. I REALLY do not think this is some conspiracy or ineptitude from Rhule and the coaches and doctors.  Sam likely just did not tell them or even know, the full extent of the injury.

I don't think we're talking about some major, displaced, compound fracture or anything.   Also, as has been said previously, these guys will lie and tell the coaches and docs whatever they want to hear to get out there and play.  They shoot these dudes up with all kinds of drugs pregame, so Sam was probably feeling like a million bucks to start. Just my humble opinion...

well, we just need some basic answers.  Sam Darnold knew specifics about his shoudler injury going into that game.   What were those.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
