Breaking: Kroft breaks foot

Still, it seems odd given the history of this staff for erring on the side of caution with off-season injuries.     If there was any question that he wasn't yet healed (and there was in April), he should have not been on the field...

There's just no way to know.   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.

Now HERE'S the type of injury I would be OK with us getting up in arms about (you know, if he were on our team):

Nick Bosa seemed to injure his hamstring during practice. He was treated briefly by a trainer & limped to the team huddle to end practice. Kyle Shanahan said he doesn’t know severity of it.

Whaleys teams were competitive every single game, while we have been blown out far too much the last two years. 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. 

 

 

I disagree Whaley's teams were all over the place and lacked any direction. Especially QB. 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.

 

You are panicking to much regarding TE. There will be late cuts if need be. There will be releases

Or he was healed, stepped on something funny and re-broke his foot.  But no one to blame in that scenario, I guess... :beer: 

 

Did you not read the article?  He wasn't going to be healed, therefore, he wasn't healed.

Joe Buscaglia ‏Verified account @JoeBuscaglia 1m1 minute ago Kroft's broken foot is the same one he broke last season as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. #Bills

 

Probably should amputate and then cut him.

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.

he's toast.

 

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.

 

Maybe Kroft, Gaines and Murphy can form a sideline band to entertain during their injuries

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.

Your medical opinion is his foot wasn't fully healed because he broke it again.  So it seems you believe that if you re-break a bone, that means it wasn't healed.

Julian Edelman, Sammy Watkins, Kevin Durant, Julio Jones all had multiple foot injuries on the same foot.....those doctors suck huh?

 

What is he right about?  That the foot wasn't healed?

He's right about Beane signing poor free agents. He's right about Kroft being injured. He right about Kroft being reinjured.

Folks need to calm down a little bit.....this was not a bad signing and the bills covered themselves at TE and can wait for him to come back healthy

 

Exactly. Or let him go. Beane stocked the roster ahead of the draft so they aren’t chasing holes to fill. They bolstered TE in FA then got some guys from their board to get even better. 

 

Past years this this would have been a big concern, now it’s not even a speed bump

Those Cincinnati tight ends.

 

Oh well. Nothing wrong with Knox, Croom, Smith, and Sweeney.

Nothing wrong other than one that isn’t good, one who is primarily a blocker, and two unproven rookies. One of which who has never caught a TD. I’d say the weakest position on the entire team just got even weaker.

Hey, Knox. I know you never catch a td in college but guess what?  You’re starting in the nfl.

TE is stocked???  I feel like TE is like qb for us when we haven’t seen a good one in forever that we don’t know what one looks like.  We have a bottom 5 TE group.  Better hope Knox is a hidden gem.

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!
