Big Blitz Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Shut him down till week 9. Next 3 games Giants Patriots Bucs Don’t need him till week 9 at Cincy. Edited October 6, 2023 by Big Blitz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the ligament that is attached to the spleen, so the recovery time is all over the board unless you're the Shah of Iran. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ and Kingsley need to step up if Von is also out Also tried changing x to Twitter and still won't embed. I'm on phone btw even if Von DOES dress and play, it’ll be a very limited snap count. Really wish the Giants and Jags games were reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 He is great but this team is deep at that position. This will not move the needle significantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 That sucks. Hopefully it’s a minor injury. I’m thinking Von and Kingsley Jonathan take up all his reps…. Jonathan is going to have a breakout game when he gets a chance. Hopefully it’s against the Jags…. Von gets some selective reps to work his way Into football shape.

Milanos Milano Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 D Butkus played with bloodied hands and bandaged fingers. This generation is soft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 This feels like a Vet rest game for him. I'm not saying his foot isn't hurt. But I bet if this was the AFC playoffs he'd be out there. But this season I am Ok with the club sitting guys out to preserve their health for the playoffs. The Bills have good depth and it will allow another player to shine who might have otherwise rode the bench this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 It’s bad enough he can’t play, but being purposely left in the dark over the extent of the injury and a realistic timeframe for return really sucks! Thabks for NOTHING, Bills.. 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von gets some selective reps to work his way Into football shape. Connecting the dots, it would seem to be "minor". A lot of reports, first from @HappyDays, that it could be a bad bruise or sprain. Maybe a 1-3 game absence. The fact he finished the Miami game and played through it, tells you its likely "short term" / could be similar to what Po dealt with leading up to last week (albeit his knee). Either way, I'd expect AJE to get 50%ish of the snaps and possibly more Shaq. Step 1 is activating Von, which would have to occur by tomorrow. Step 2, I'd assume they gave him on a snap count...maybe 25% or less of snaps...so I think we should all tamper expectations if he plays...torn acl/age 34/approx 10 months from surgery. No need to rush him back. AJE and Kingsley need to step up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Stinks. Hopefully not a lingering thing. Luckily, the Bills have nice DL depth this year. Leonard Floyd has been outstanding, and AJ Epenesa has been playing well. Add in Shaq and Kingsley for breathers and, if we're lucky, Von Miller and...not too shabby.

Chuck Schick Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I feel like this is a version of the NBA’s “load management”. 17 games, sneak in some rest during the season when they think/hope it won’t affect the outcome of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll continue seeing players receive a week off here and there. Like Poyer last week. Just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
