Martin- I'd expect he battles through/plays. McGovern- came back into game after 1 play, sure he'll be ok Banged up Bills has a breakdown of Taron Johnson's last snap. He does take contact from Dan Moore Jr and Connor Heyward, but not obvious jarring contact, just a double team block and they release further down the field, and then he stumbles over shaking his right hand. Happened with 0:11 left in the 3rd quarter. Also, he was never officially ruled out for a concussion, just taken for evaluation. Benford was on the Freiremuth fumble. Banged up Bills has a good angle of it, he sets into tackle position, and his right knee buckles some, and his ankle awkwardly turns. He's thinking possible lateral meniscus. And when you watch it again, he doesn't immediately grab his knee, he starts to get back recognizing a fumble before going out of view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll likely be cleared around February. I just don’t think that’s enough time for him to practice and be ready to contribute in the Super Bowl. I thought McD shut that discussion down a few weeks back. In any case, I dont want Milano's first game back from injuries and an extended time off to be the Superbowl.

I think beyond Bernard, many will be at least active and ready if needed. The Von Miller thing is baffling. It goes against everything that McDermott purports to stand for regarding earning playing time. Maybe all other options are horrible so Miller's the best they can do? Who knows.

Dodson I have no idea though I'm sure he wants to be out there. On the 'could've played' thing, though, it's noteworthy that McDermott received the evaluation "out for the game" from the trainers. Douglas wouldn't be the first player who, full of adrenaline during the game, thinks he can come back and play while sports medicine experts who cold-bloodedly look at things like the degree of laxity in the joint and points of tenderness that point to the injury say "nope". It's also not uncommon that guys initially have more function, but after they sit on the flight home and sleep, they wake up and find considerable swelling/functional impairment. It's notable that even though he was ruled "questionable" and not "out" for the game, Douglas DNP every day last week. Dodson is a good question. He practiced, albeit limited, 2x last week. Banged up Bills had this to say before the Steelers game: Quote LB Tyrel Dodson (Left Shoulder) Dodson exited the game on Sunday with a left shoulder injury suffered in the second quarter. This was the result of a late hit that caused him to somersault over Greg Rousseau and De’Von Achane. His left shoulder clipped Achane but Dodson stayed in. #Bills Tyrel Dodson L shoulder inj. 1) Dives in late hit & flips over. 2) Just out of the frame at top takes a L shoulder shot from Armstead. 3) Takes another shot & rolls out shoulder. 2 more plays, no contact, then leaves. Best bet is AC joint sprain based on current info. pic.twitter.com/1Gd1xdouGk — Banged Up Bills (@BangedUpBills) January 8, 2024 He was able to finish the series after getting the shoulder jarred several more times. The initial concern was for an AC joint sprain, but looking at this more and more, AC joint sprains usually are the result of a lateral compressive force to the shoulder, damaging the ligaments of the acromioclavicular joint. The direct blow could have caused labrum and rotator cuff damage. This would be the same injury that Jordan Phillips suffered last season. If Dodson does attempt to play through the injury, he would have instability in the area and weakness due to either injury. He will have to wear a brace and limit the use of his shoulder in tackling and blocking. He will essentially be playing with one shoulder and could see his day end early with another awkward hit. He would be the best bet to play but I’m not confident in his abilities coming off the injury this quickly. The team signed AJ Klein for a reason this week which is why I believe he will sit. I was discussing with someone here AJ Klein as MLB vs KC. AJ has "got it going on" mentally, obviously, since he was able to come off the street and not only play, but call the defense. But, in preseason we saw that his already limited range was even more so. The thought of Klein dropping into coverage on Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce over the middle brings on a shiver. On the other hand, if Dodson does indeed have a torn labrum and will have to play with a brace - the thought of him not only trying to play through the pain, but do something that is mentally challenging for him (call the D), is not a happy one. Can McDermott cook up a defense which would have Klein calling the D and use Klein to his best physical advantage, while distributing coverage responsibilities elsewhere? That's way beyond my paygrade and may depend upon whether Johnson, Benford, and Rapp can play. Edited January 16 by Beck Water 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the other day it would be nice if they increased the allowed number of players who are allowed to dress for the SB - like the full 53 active say. Would allow teams to reward fringe or injured players that might not normally get to suit up to reward them for contributions to the team - throw them in for a play and they can have memory of playing in a SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no tomorrow if lose. If your best can go, you play them. I hope I’m overreacting here lol Players are always overly optimistic about their ability to play...it's the trainers that sometimes need to "save players from themselves" in those ways. Likely would have been a prime candidate to re-injure during the game if he played. The extra rest and treatments should allow for much lower chances of that. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Here's the update I got on a few of the injuries suffered yesterday: -Spector is totally fine, will have no issues. -Benford has a small tear in his meniscus but may be able to play through it. TBD -Bernard I got less clarity on. My source believes it is a high ankle sprain, but not 100% sure since they were still testing it as of when my source got the information. TBD on if he can definitely return this year or what the return time would look like but thankfully it appears he avoided a truly serious injury. I have no update on Taron Johnson, or the players that were out against the Steelers. I'll pass along any further updates if I receive them.

947 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Playing through a meniscus tear is tough, depending what type. If it's a bucket-handle tear, the knee can lock up & you can't function the same even with painkillers. The report says it's a minor meniscus tear for Benford, so hopefully he can numb it & play through it & have surgery after the season. There are 2 types of meniscus surgeries. Partial meniscectomy- they cut out the torn piece & it's a 6 week recovery. Or they can do a meniscus repair, which is a 6 month recovery. Repair is typically only done on people under age 25 or so, but Benford fits this age group. Hoping it truly is minor. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
