So when is the 4 weeks up?

 

After next week.  Was placed on IR on Nov 2nd and has only been out 3 games/weeks.

No, his IR was not season-ending. 

No, not a single report has surfaced that it would be a season-ending injury.

Yes, he can come back when the four weeks are up.

And lastly...I would have been on the "his career with the Bills is finished" train, too, but IF -- and that's a big if -- the reports are true that Brandon Beane turned down a 3rd round pick (or any pick, really) for Elam because he's not ready to give up on him, well...maybe he gets one more shot next year.

Warning: Gossip from someone who knows nothing about anything

 

I was golfing with a buddy of mine who is not prone to BS. It was early in the season (around week 2 or 3). My friend is an Uber driver and we were talking about the Bills. He mentioned that he gave an airport ride to someone who was very close to Elam and she stated that he had been dealing with an ankle issue for awhile that severely limited his play. I kept watching him whenever he played, and it seemed like he was having issues making hard cuts and acceleration. Then he was put on IR after it was announced he had an ankle issue after week 8. I know Elam had a rough rookie year, but should he get a Mulligan for this year if the injury was truly hurting his progress ?  It seems the Bills are going to give him another year but it's the NFL so who knows ?

 

Again. I know nothing but my buddy is a straight shooter and did not make up the ankle injury thing 2 months before Elam went on IR.

Kaiir "Poodle" Elam, as you know, has been living in semi-seclusion in Northern Quebec ever since his tragic benching by Sean McDermott.

 

Fantastic reference!!!

Not for the year, he had a twisted ankle.

Wasn't the official word that he was shut down due to an ankle injury that wasn't coming around? 

 

Yes.

Beane said in his post trade deadline press conference that they were thinking of shutting him down for the year over his ankle. If only Elam where a decent pick him and Douglas manning the corners next year would make life without Trey alot easier.

 

Beane didn't say "for the year".  He said they were thinking of shutting him down and letting it heal up.  Time not specified, that I heard.

Corroborating evidence: Beane had said in the post-trade presser that Elam had been dealing with an ankle injury from back in training camp.

I love this movie!!!  I grew up in NT, about 10 minutes from Buffalo Ave. where the missile plant and presidential motorcade scenes were shot.  A friend of mine from Buffalo was working in Indiana when this movie came out.  He went to the movie and was laughing his ass off, but nobody else in the theater was laughing.  The ultimate inside joke movie only for Americans who had been exposed to the Canadian culture and people.  "Anne Murray.  All day, every day."

My father was the Project Manager for the Robert Moses Niagara Power Project expansion... he was poisoned by the same crap that companies like Hooker put into the ground- dioxin, carbon tetrachloride, and more. They were one of the defendants in the case he started against them. Needless to say I didn't expect to see that name today... you didn't know though.
