You know it doesn't have to be that "all or nothing" B.S.

 

You can point out where the refs made multiple bad calls, as they did, and it doesn't mean you are blaming the loss on them.

 

 

 

.

 

All 32 teams fans swear they got ripped off by the refs today

Can a player come back and play at the same level as before the injury? 

 

 

Tough to do that, getting over the mental holdback is hard as well

Sports fans speculating?

With three games left, "season ending" would not be any kind of a shock.  Hopefully, whatever medical treatment is required will happen quickly , and he can come back as good as new in training camp.  Comparisons with Alex Smith don't hold water IMO.  Alex Smith developed an infection post injury. that is the complicating factor that has the potential to end his career.  There's no reason to think the same thing is likely to happen to Milano.

Less infection from turf

I... feel... you!!! It really wasn't gruesome to the eye... a la Napoleon Kaufman Willis McGahee. But it definitely could be  tendon or ligament... 

 

I can relate more to ankle twists than shattering both leg bones or tearing multiple ligaments in the knee

Lol I was looking at my heel with my kneecap where my knee joint used to be... only broken in 3 places after coming down from blocking a shot. So Alex Smith Joe Theismann... hell even Cadets ankle last year was tough.

Just re-watched. There was a blatant hold on Milano on the play, which didn’t allow him to turn toward Darnold and caused the injury.

 

Saw that in the replay during the game. Clear hold.

Patella fxs no joke expect that they wrapped and k wired it.  Ankle fx and dislocations are a pain because of all the ligament tears.  The rest depends on if it was just the distal fibula  or it included the medial distal tibia.  They can plate and screw both sided, but the tibia is weight bearing and can take longer to heal.   Tore and chip fx might right one running track in high school.  Rolled it pretty bad.  Best thing that helped me gain strength and flexibility back in it was ice skating.  Helped break down the scar tissue too.

Man sounds like you bit it at some point too. After the physical is back there is a mental hurdle I never could clear.

Fin training run on Buffalo sidewalks... wasn't my smartest move... but I was a teenager back then... dumb and stupid... Had to have it casted.  Ironically slipped on some ice last winter stretching same ankle out.  Had a buddy x-ray when I went into work.  He said I think you fractured your ankle... told him that wasn't where it hurt.  But the chip from high school is still there lol, that was what he was pointing to..

In my 50s I am so grateful I did little damage below the waist during my high school and university sports years.  Shoulders are another matter, but that doesn’t effect basic mobility.

I always said I didnt want to break or dislocate fingers or my ankle. And I will always say breaks are often better for rehab than ligament tendon tears or dislocations. Shoulders are tough too. You need those to do way more than most think.

Hopefully Stanford, but he is listed as the backup MLB.  But he looked good and rangy filling-in for Edmunds earlier. 

 

Here is the official depth chart: https://www.buffalobills.com/team/depth-chart

 

 

 

I think Stanford can play will. Technically, Corey Thompson is the next Will backer up. We likely see a lot more Lorax off the ball and lot of Raphael Bush as well. Richard Jarvis is on our practice squad. The best free agent is probably Marquis Flowers, former Bengal and Patriot. You've former Dolphin and Falcon Jordan Tripp as a FA.

 

Practice squad wise, there are some interesting guys on other teams-

Xavier Woodson Luster - (knows the system) Browns

Brandon Chubb (Bradley's brother) - Panthers 

Josh Woods - Bears 

Chris Worley former OSU - Bengals

Brady Sheldon (interesting guy from Ferris State) - Packers

Kyle Wilson - Chargers

James Burgess - Dolphins

Matthew Thomas (FSU)- Steelers

Josh Carraway (TCU) - Redskins

 

That's all I got.

Not that all breaks are the same but I broke my fibula, surgery wasn’t needed, and I was walking again in the normal 6 weeks.  I’m also not an athlete so I guess I just needed to walk, not run, hit, etc.  Regardless, since Milano needed surgery, clearly his was worse.  I hope he’s back for TC.

He had surgery today for broken fibula per McD. Similar to Bodine’s injury.

 

I was thinking the leg might be broken because on the cart going out, his leg had some curve to it that a leg normally doesn't have going up the shin

They almost always have surgery on it to ensure it heals properly and cleanly whether they actually do or not...

Obviously awful news but better than a knee. He'll be fine.

 

It's the fibula, i.e. the non-weight bearing lower leg bone.  Barring anything crazy, he'll be fine and ready by training camp.

Why did it take 24 hours to acknowledge what pretty much everyone saw?  Geez knew Alex Smith's break in under 2 hours......  

 

Was McD playing games with the Lions?

 

Wait for initial swelling to reduce, if it will?

THAT is encouraging. Terrible loss for the team and a setback for this young man, but glad to hear it’s not TOO long term. Somehow I actually missed seeing the gruesome part, but based on reaction here I’m glad I did!
