Broke the scaphoid bone in my wrist in two...there was no swelling. The hand is odd...there are bones in there that are a PITA to heal due to the circulation being poor. I had no swelling...just felt like a sprain. You can easily break things and not get swelling. From my experience, I've had more swelling in sprains (ankles, knee) than I have any break I've had.

I'm not saying this isn't a phantom injury though, but any lack of swelling 3 days since the game doesn't tell me anything.

I played offensive line in highschool, and broken, sprained, and jammed fingers are a norm. My fingers seriously look retarded.

Theres no way there wouldnt be some kind of swelling or bruising. When you break a bone or sprain something it has to swell becuase there is alot of blood that gets released from a bone break. Also, since a sprain is the tearing of ligaments there is also going to be blood released.

IF he's injured, you absolutely can't tell anything from that photo. If the fracture is lower on the finger, it would be under the gauze and you obviously can't see there. Of course, that could be why they put a mountain of gauze on his hand anyway. They could just say the fracture is buried under it and that his finger looks all gnarly and mangled underneath and we have no way of knowing because we can't actually see through the gauze.

I believe the NFL is pretty thorough when it comes to injury report requirements. I can't imagine Fox not playing him if he wasn't injured. I accept that he is hurt..

Not really. Smitty played a season with messed up ribs....he said that once the season was over and it wasn't on the injury report. There is a lot of room they have to use the injury report.

I'm sure there is something wrong w/ Jake's hand...when and how bad I doubt we get a real answer. It is clearly an out....Jake could play. Fox and Jake are using it as an out...as even Jake knows he ain't getting it done and shouldn't be playing.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.

      Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded.

      Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
