26CornerBlitz Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So between Sammy and Matthews, only one of them will be available today to their team... Trust the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 @christrapasso Re: Matthews' injury - #Bills regular season opener in 3 wks. Terminology may be a bit different but he did play in WCO in '16 w/ Pederson @profootballdoc Good news: just a pain tolerance issue. Bad news: can be pretty painful.

Being that he's a vet and knows the WCO...I'm not that concerned. The mental reps will be there but the chemistry with TT will be delayed. Oh well....we're Bills fans.

YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Better than a chipped spleen, tbh @profootballdoc No cast. No surgery. Typically avulsion fracture. Often doesn't heal or need to heal. Can play thru but can be quite painful. Edited August 14, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsam4031 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I don't know. Injured last year, injured in practice. Injury prone!!! /S touché! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 another one bites the dust. they said the same thing about Watkins when he first hurt his foot.

ROONDOGG55 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 He will play through it. He's been out there for 46 of 48 games as a pro. I think he started most of them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 @profootballdoc Good news: just a pain tolerance issue. Bad news: can be pretty painful. Also probably won't be doing much if any upper body lifting/conditioning for a while. Like a rib, you'd think this is an injury that's got to affect you for a while, no matter how much you suck it up. At least Gregg "Kill the sternum, kill the body" Williams is not on the schedule (although no doubt some out there might try to get some shots in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So much for durability I know. This proves over the last 3 years that Watkins has been more durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 @lilboon Cameron Boon Retweeted David J. Chao, MD To be fair, didn't look like Matthews was in a ton of pain walking off the field yesterday. But looks can be deceiving. #Bills @ProFootballDoc David J.

"it's just a pain tolerance issue and he can play through it and will be week to week." This is where we will find out the value Matthews has that Sammy doesn't. He will be fine and play through the pain, based on everything I've heard about his character that's the type of guy he is. I'm still surprised we even got Matthews, a 3rd alone for Darby would have probably done it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Gregg "Kill the sternum, kill the body" Williams is not on the schedule (although no doubt some out there might try to get some shots in) With ribs, it was more twisting of the core that hurt and nothing much after that. I broke my ribs twice in my life. I could still bench press and do push ups but asking me to do a trunk twist....almost cried. I've had a bruised sternum and that was very painful...Matthews is definitely in pain. I really think it'll be fine, without any setbacks in 2 weeks. another one bites the dust. they said the same thing about Watkins when he first hurt his foot. "it's just a pain tolerance issue and he can play through it and will be week to week." A fractured foot with a screw in it is much more painful that a chipped sternum, especially in the long haul.
