Warriorspikes51 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) When Allen missed 4 weeks in 2018 from UCL, he was in significant pain on sideline and had immediately come out of the game. He actually dropped to knee on sideline if I remember. This time, he grabs/massages arm for a moment then uncorks a 70 yard pass. Hopefully it’s a level 1 tweak Edited November 8, 2022 by Warriorspikes51 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 3 minutes ago, 78thealltimegreat said: It seems watching a couple medical opinions that the Bills avoided a level 3 sprain and that would have been surgery as Josh would never have been able to throw his last pass 70 yards if he did as it would have been kinda a lame duck throw do to the nerves. So it’s either a level 1 or 2. If it’s 2 he’s probably shut down for 2-4 games and likely plays after Thanksgiving. If it’s level 1 he could literally play on Sunday. And now you know. Just talked to my brother who is a physical therapist and he said the same thing. He’d be shocked if it’s anything more than a couple games, given the mere fact he was physically capable, post injury, of throwing that last pass 70 yards. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a very quick test on the UCL, when the UCL is sprained badly or torn it will induce quite a bit of pain. I'd assume the trainers did during the Jets timeout yesterday, or something more than Josh just saying he's ok to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) It's starting to feel like all the negative hype created by Cover 1 and a couple WGR people was just because they heard Josh was getting testing done on the UCL. If that's all they heard and they used it to create cryptic pessimistic BS online I will never post them on this site again. If they want to be more than a Mickey Mouse operation they need to have better standards than that. The upside is usually if I heard Allen was going to miss one game or more I would be freaking out, but now that my mind had drifted towards season-ending injury territory anything less than that will feel like good news.

That is a very shortsighted view of the situation there is a reason why we have a back up QB on the team who could maybe win one out of three games yes and that is if Josh can injure it worse by playing then he should be shut down for the week because there is a lot of season left 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in the future is guaranteed. The time to win a championship is now. If there’s serious risk of making the injury worse then fine. Don’t be dumb. But you can’t just keep writing these games and seasons off. You might never get back. People are way too patient in a league where everything can change In a minute. You have to try and cash in on one of these seasons. Nobody is getting younger. If he can play, he needs to play. We aren’t moving the ball on anyone with a noodle arm journeyman backup that can’t hurt you with his legs. The Vikings are 7-1. We are going to have a hard enough time with Allen. You can’t just keep running backups out thinking we can hold serve. The chiefs aren’t going to lose. You blew the cushion with the inexcusable jet loss. Now you have to treat every game like the playoffs because if we go to KC in the playoffs we are toast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea what Keenum looks like with the entire starting offense in a real game and a week of prep. None of us do. If you want to point to limitations on offense, in Keenum and in personnel.. fair game, but way too many people are drawing conclusions from preseason.
