YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 @profootballdoc True, #JordanMatthews will be fine for real games. Problem is how does he acclimate to new team/plays/QB with limited practice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) I know. This proves over the last 3 years that Watkins has been more durable. Did i mention Watkins? I know the spin Drs at OBD touted Matthews durability. 15 minutes of practice and now week to week Edited August 14, 2017 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Did i mention Watkins? I know the spin Drs at OBD touted Matthews durability. 15 minutes of practice and now week to week Well he has shown that. So he's got a setback...that doesn't mean his durability he's shown so far is wiped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 @christrapasso FWIW (sounds similar-ish but not same as Matthews injury) Carson Wentz suffered hairline rib fracture on 8/11/16 & started Week 1 on 9/11/16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 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. Not for nothing, but I said almost the exact same thing about Watkins last year. He will play through it; he's been out there for 29 of 32 games as a pro...and he started all of those 29.

He at least will have a chance to heel a bit before the season. I don't see the Bills working him that much to ensure his availability through the season. If they do, and he worsens it, then we will have the same situation with that we had with Sammy last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) A chest injury and a foot injury for a WR are two very different things. I do think the chest injury could hamper him, but it is much "easier" to manage and play through than a foot which is one of the most critical things for a WR. I agree with the doctor who said he can rest and ice it and manage with pain meds for a couple weeks and ready to go for reg season. It may hurt for months but can be managed. The bigger impact may be the missed reps with TT and the rest of the offense. Edited August 14, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasovon Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 This is classic Bills. we really can't have nice things. Ah well QBs look nice next year, until we draft one and he breaks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So now we are going to hear about this EVERY week just like the Watkins rib injury. I know this came after the trade, but no way Bills should have passed his physical. The guy knee issues already. Why are we volunteering to deal with these chronic issues with players all the time?

Bill_with_it Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Yep. Nothing says excitement quite like manners. Can't wait for the next Miss manners column actually.You have really out done yourself. There is plenty room in the Rams wagon for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm, we are relying on him to be our starting WR. The knee is a major issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_with_it Posted August 14, 2017 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. Yup kind of like he did yesterday. Didnt peep a word continued to play through it didnt miss a rep then got it looked at post practice. I know. This proves over the last 3 years that Watkins has been more durable. This is solid gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
