Mrbojanglezs Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 How do you break your foot in non-contact OTA practice....no way this guy will last through the season. I wouldn't bank on him being a contributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bank on him being a contributor. Once you break your foot, it is very easily broken again. Killed a bunch of basketball player’s career - Bill Walton and Kevin Mchale. 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’s just a sucky injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a sucky injury. It's still hurting Sammy. He missed I think 6 games for the Chiefs last year because of it. Kevin Durant missed games over multiple seasons because of it.

It’s just a sucky injury. 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. That’s my glass half full speech. It’s all I got..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not Jake Fisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
