JohnnyBuffalo Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) This is devolving into an old man odd injury post but I have definitely gotten injured in simple non-contact movements. I subscribe to the concept for the professional that their injury is a timer that’s going to go off regardless and that it was not preventable. You add so much muscle and weight and contact to joints and soft tissue not meant to withstand it and it’s just a matter of time. Also I am an old man so no offense was intended.

Royale with Cheese Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago 3 hours ago, Low Positive said: Happens. This Sunday, Charvarius Ward (starting CB for the Colts) missed the game with a concussion that he suffered by running into TE Drew Ogletree during pre-game warmups. But that't not all. Anthony Richardson (Colts current backup QB and draft bust) also missed the game because he got hit in the eye when an exercise band snapped during pre-game stretching. Anthony Richardson suffered an orbital fracture in warm ups. Quote

Just checked 😂 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/colts-qb-anthony-richardson-taken-to-hospital-with-orbital-fracture-after-eye-injury-in-pregame-warmups/ “Following the game, Colts coach Shane Steichen told reporters that Richardson suffered an orbital fracture, forcing him to spend Sunday's game in a local hospital. The injury allegedly occurred as a result of a malfunction of the elastic band he had been using. Richardson attached the band to a pole in the locker room, and the pole snapped and made forceful contact with his face” ouch!!! Edited 3 hours ago by NewEra 1 Quote
BVBILLS Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago I think I remember a Bills player slipping on a mat and missed the game Quote

I mean nowhere near as embarrassing as Anthony Richardson fracturing an orbital bone while warming up with a resistance band during pregame and having to spend the game at the hospital. Quote
ScotSHO Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Both DaQuan and Ed are exactly why you can't invest second contract money into DL play. These fat guys have 4-5 years max, and after that they fall apart. Draft 2 mid-rounders (3rd & 5th) every year, and play them immediately. 1 Quote

I'm thinking someone punched him in the face Geno Smith style on that one. Must be a hell of a windup for an elastic band to break a orbital bone lol Edited 2 hours ago by TBBills Fan Quote
Wacka Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago I the 70s or 80s a Dolphin messed up his knee doing dunks over the crossbar with the football during the pregame. I once pulled a neck muscle sneezing from hay fever. Quote
