It killed Sammy’s one season because he rushed back too soon. Odds are if we rush Kroft back too soon, it will re-occur.

It looks like a poor decision by the coaching/medical staff for rushing Kroft into OTAs rather than waiting for training camp: From back when he signed in April: [paywall content] https://buffalonews.com/2019/04/03/tyler-kroft-buffalo-bills-nfl-sean-mcdermott-tight-end/ "...Kroft was on his way to doing that in 2017. His big game against the Ravens capped a season in which he started all 16 games and finished with 42 catches for 404 yards and seven touchdowns. Injury robbed him of the chance to build on that in 2018. Kroft appeared in just five games before a broken bone in his foot ended his season. He’s not completely healed from that injury, putting his participation in spring practices in jeopardy, but he should be 100 percent by the time training camp arrives."

BillsFanForever19 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 As much as this sucks, Kyle Rudolph isn't happening. They spent decent money on Kroft and Lee Smith. Two draft picks this season. And the injury to Kroft isn't season ending. They aren't going to give up on the guy that quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's the only major injury of OTAs I'm fine with that On the list of horrors that plague my dreams at night, I can live with this. He should be ready early season, and we have some younger guys who need more reps. Somebody gets hurt in OTA’s/Camp every year. Let’s hope this is it, and we get lucky going forward.

While I support Beane and eager to see how the process turns out, I have my doubts because I’m a Bills fan and have been hurt in the past. A TE is a young QBs best friend and now our best option at that position is 3rd round rookie. Fine. You may not like how your team played last season. But to expect the Bills to be signing premium free agent talent is to be simply ignoring what the current GM has told us over and over. He's not building this team with free agents. His first attempt to make serious improvement at the position was to draft Knox. So far as I know, he's still healthy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they talked to the doctors and they said he was good to go. Presumably they talked to Kroft and he said all his work outs were fine. They kept Morse and others off the field, so it's not as though they aren't paying attention to injuries and recoveries. If we're going to criticize, the point many others have made is the one worth talking about: If you're looking for a free agent tight end, why are you signing one with a significant injury history, particularly foot injuries? Still, you make decisions as well as you can and move on. Some decisions work out, some don't. I hope Knox is a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a reason why Whaley is not being offered GM jobs nor is he getting lots of interviews Beane dismantled that team and the pain of rebuilding is what has happened.

Punching Bag Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 4 hours ago, JoshAllenHasBigHands said: Do you know if the break is in the same place? Are the breaks related? Did private staff examine him? Or did an outside orthopedic specialist? And if so, do you know how many? That is exactly my question when I heard news. Was this a bone which healed and rebroke and if so at same spot? I have broken a number of bones in my feet and sometimes they were not detectable by x-ray until 2nd one. The advantage being a professional veteran athlete there are treatments which will help which health insurance will not always pay for and that he probably can get paid for by Bills.

I mean, from what I'm seeing he has had foot issues and looks as though they have come back. Bengals' Tyler Kroft: Done for season after surgery Kroft underwent season-ending foot surgery Friday and will be placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Kroft missed the Bengals' past four games due to a fractured right foot and had yet to resume practicing since suffering the injury. Two knee injuries in 2016 too. The only person making Kroft not look injury prone was Eifert... Uzomah and James were there in FA. Irv Smith in the draft.

LSHMEAB Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Didn't like the signing and this injury comes as no surprise. Some guys just can't stay healthy and Kroft seems to fit the mold. Availability and all that jazz. The TE position is likely to hinge on whether Beane got the Knox pick right. Still, it'd be nice for THIS season IF Kroft can at least get back on the field. Tough to expect a raw rookie to step right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excalty! Top 27 Tight end group..! My my point was they filled up the depth chart so they didn’t need to get anything they could there in the draft. It’s gotta be better now than last year. I honestly have irrational, barely founded, high hopes for Sweeney based on 3 minutes with YouTube.... which you can basically take to the bank!
