What are the current odds for "Joey Bosa busted at the Canadia border with a pile of PED's"?

will someone report this and swear it is true on their daughter’s life?!

Sometimes I legit wonder if training staffs just make these injuries up to intentionally keep guys out. Why risk any kind of injury to him knowing his history? Just be available during the season and more importantly, for playoffs 

that is what is happening. How could he have been injured? They're not doing much football stuff

we have one to add to the list…

Pulled calf muscle.
surprise surprise! 

Congratulations if you had ‘before training camp’ on your bingo card?  

He'll be paying rent, to the blue tent.

I'm getting Shawne Merriman vibes

While not completely shocking, I am not particularly worried yet.  It's probably about hopes and expectations.  Obviously, we all hope he is healthy all season and dominates in the Playoffs.  And you know what?  It can still happen.  Will it?  I, and many here, don't expect it. 

 

That said, I think this is going to be the theme of the year.  Every time he is remotely banged up, I think the Bills are going to be overly cautious and keep him out longer than necessary whether that be at camp or during the season.  And you know what?  I'm fine with that as my goal is to have him as close to 100% going into the Playoffs and then just ride him until the wheels come off.  

 

So, if he only plays 7 games this season, fine.  Heck.....be overly cautious and go into the season saying he is only going to play every other game as a plan even if he is healthy!  Just ramp him up for what we hope is a dominant Playoff and Super Bowl run.  In the meantime, get the you guys like Jackson and Solomon as many reps as possible.  Have Bosa work with them in the film room and as much as he can on the field and try to push them ahead of schedule in their development.

I'll bet it's their use of weights. Football players seem to get a lot of hamstring pulls. Does anyone remember a basketball player getting a hammie ?

Could be, but my thoughts lean towards HGH/steroids being the main culprit,

This is the story of OTAs (not Cook). Hopefully it’s precautionary. They need Bosa at the end of the year, not the beginning (even with the suspensions). Get him healthy if that’s possible. 

 

Also, maybe we got this out of the way early? A girl can dream.

This is the exact type of blanket conclusion based on limited information in a two sentence statement that I was hoping to see in this thread. Thank you.

But what part do you think will be incorrect?

[BillMafia716ix]

I’d rather have Von over Bosa. At least Von already knows the system. Bosa not even going to play half the snaps. I’m not expecting anything astronomical from Bosa and the fact that’s he’s already injured before we even put pads on is not a good sign.

This is hilarious. He’s got the Bruce Smith flu. Talk to me in November about his availability.

Im not sure if anyone has expressed the same sentiment... but I'm kinda looking at the whole Bosa situation as if we don't actually sign an elite pass rusher ... if and when he shows up it'll just be a nice bonus while it lasts (for a game or two) before he hurts himself again and not be available.  Just hoping it's a key game when he can be of actual use.  If I'm wrong and he can play at least 8-10 games - I'll be more than happy.  Just not holding my breath!

Bosa is a $7.2M hit on 2026’s cap lol

He’s on a one year deal. How else would you have spent his contract?

Is that when you think he will be placed on season ending IR? I was hoping he would be in and out of the lineup until Christmas?

How you guys still have ACL's with all the knee Jerking you do is surprising.

I would have flown to Vegas and put half on red (assuming I can find a wheel without the dreaded 00 and 000 slots);  and the other half I would invest wisely, setting up countless future generations of RiotActs to live comfortably without needing to hold down a soul-crushing job to support themselves/their families.

Probably a Bruce Smith type of camp injury. He "pulled something" so he doesn't have to practice. 

[JimBob2232]

Just get him ready in November and im good.
