Wanna trade with the Bears again?

[Mr. Scot]

woahhh...what the hell happened to gettis?

Knee "buckled" on him yesterday. He was carted off. No updates on status yet.

[Mr. Scot]

Side note: If you were looking at potential OL help, Jared Gaither is off the market on that front (Chiefs).

[Proudiddy]

WHAT??? I didn't follow the updates as closely yesterday on practice, but I kept seeing people mention Gettis' "injury." I was assuming everyone meant the hammy or whatever it was holding him out of practice last week...

So his knee buckled yesterday?

Smh... That's never good. I can't believe I missed this.

I had high hopes for him this year with a year under his belt, I really hope it isn't serious but I don't like how it sounds.

Regardless, I would've been interested in Knox whether the injury occurred or not, for the right price... I saw on roto that he was demoted so I suspected this would happen. He's a good receiver and if Gettis is out, we need to replace that downfield threat.

We need a deep threat, but not so sure that's the best route to take to get one.

As I posted in another thread:

Talked to my grandfather-in-law whom is an orthopedic specialist, I told him about Gettis' knee buckling, and he is unable to put any weight on the leg. He said, if you were able to put 'some weight' on the leg and feel pain, it would be partially torn or sprained, but no weight at all is a very bad sign. Hope he's wrong, but I don't think he is.

He deduced that it's the MCL because the knee buckled, and didn't twist when it was injured. Take this with a grain of salt as it's just 1 doctors opinion without examining the patient.

95% sure it an MCL tear.

If we are lucky, it's a torn meniscus, and may not be out the whole season.

[Proudiddy]

It's hard for us to know without seeing it for ourselves. He could have twisted it. And you don't always have to twist the knee to damage an ACL.

Also hard to deduce a lot from the reports of being "carted off" after what happened with Smitty being "carted off" with a cut finger the other day.

Either way, it doesn't sound good.

Should know something soon about it, he's in Charlotte getting an MRI on his knee. I hope it's just a sprain, but I'm expecting that he's done for the year.

Gettis said that his knee "Buckled" on him, indicated that it wasn't twisted.

Yeah, but my point is, "buckled" is a blanket statement a lot of athletes use to describe an injury to their knee.

If you plant your foot and begin pushing off of it to cut, your knee usually twists a bit. The first thing that came to my mind when I read "buckled" was Jamal Anderson's (the coke head former RB of the Falcons) career-ending knee injury. I can't find video anywhere but I was watching the game when it happened...

He went outside of the tackle IIRC and went to cut back in, shuffled his feet, and his knee "buckled" without anyone touching him as he went to cut back in. He blew out his ACL.

EDIT: either way, I figure if he tore anything, he's gonna be out a significant amount of time, even if it isn't a complete tear.

The knee has so many ligaments in it, it's impossible to tell with out examining, for sure.

[God]

gettis is likely done for the year, go get knox.

[dimbee]

Their fans are having a meltdown over Olson and the acquisition of Roy Williams.

Not really.

I don't expect Knox to go anywhere. He's still so young and the Bears know how good he can be, so I don't think the Bears would trade him... granted Jerry Angelo and Marty Hurney are good friends, I still don't see it happening. At least not this year.

[Kurb]

I wouldn't offer more than a 6th for Knox.

We have enough young WR's here.

Wasted move IMO.

[Bj-Monster23]

We are starting to lose a lot of guys by injuries. I hope gettis gets better and glad TD is doing good also. We are starting to look real thin a WR now with Smitty out for 2 weeks. Now Gettis.
