For whatever its worth, I have seen some tough dudes cry on NFL fields after injuries. I don't think its always about pain tolerance. The emotion of leaving the field with what you already know is a severe injury and potentially losing a season that you trained your ass off for is a powerful thing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ligaments that hold your shin bone together are all torn. You can’t stand. Almost every elite athlete would get surgery. Tua had it in college. interesting it’s not automatic surgery here Elite athletes have surgery for a lot of things that wouldn't require it for normal people...most broken bones have surgery to both stabilize and make the recovery process quicker and to ensure it is reinforced against further injury which would be quite unnecessary for most people who would just have a cast on it and allow it to heal for 4-6 weeks. 10 hours ago, Jauronimo said: Was he actually crying?

Yeah, you'll see it a lot with players who are carted off after having their teammates all around them wishing them well as the cart drive away and reality sets in that their season is over and they likely have a long and grueling rehab process after surgery and face an uncertain future...likely are having worst case scenarios going through their head thinking if that might be the last time they ever see the field or that their career might be over, especially for the older players who were nearing the end of their careers anyway. A lot of time those towels they drape over their head as they get carted off the field are to hide their tears from the camera.

Crying after knowing you're done for the year and can't be there for your teammates is one thing. This ain't it. This picture is shows the equivalent of a 5 year old getting a sliver on the playground. He's probably getting a second opinion because the Pats team doctors told him his ankle is fine and he'll be able to play this weekend and in light of the reaction to the injury it's too embarrassing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avenger Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Here in Boston they refuse to say that Mac is out this weekend because the all-knowing Bill Belichick hasn't said that. Some people seem to believe that if Bill says he'll play he'll have a sudden recovery, or maybe a quick ankle transplant and be just fine on Sunday. Any other team would have stated the obvious - we are still evaluating the extent of the injury and there is no specific timetable but he will miss time starting with week 4. Instead, Belichick will list him as questionable every day and when he obviously doesn't play on Sunday some percentage of people will call him weak - that's the type of pressure you want to put on your young quarterback...

FilthyBeast Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Sounds like Jones might not be out long which is good news for the Patriots staying in contention this season.

ToGoGo Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 The kid is soft and they're trying to cover for him. That's why every article says "severe high ankle sprain that usually requires surgery". But he shows up in practice that week? Are we supposed to believe he's tough after acting like a complete crybaby? After Belichick had to pull him away from post-game handshakes last year so the other team wouldn't see him cry? How long is the media going to cover for this kid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a heavy tape job to me on that left ankle. And he's clearly not applying any pressure to it. This is just more injury report fun and games from Belichick.
