"IR is a possibility" for both Spencer Brown and Terrel Bernard

[BuffaloBillyG]

If it means more Shaq that isn't a bad thing from an on field standpoint. Brown being down would really hurt the run game. Torrence is going to suffer not having Brown next to him as well 

 

We still have 6 games left until the playoffs begin. With all the guys out long term, even if we make it we would be fortunate to be more than 1 and done IMO.

I heard we had a waiting line outside the blue tent when Max needed a moment. Take a number. Nothing surprises me any more.

This year’s shaping up to be a wash, so it is what it is.

Agreed, at least you get to test your tackle depth because there will be decisions to be made at the position in the offseason.

I hate to say - I no longer consider Bernard to be a big loss. He hasn't played that well, and he just gets hurt a lot. I hate that for him, but it's what it is.

 

Brown is a tough loss, but we have built some good depth on the O-line at least.  1st guy in that unit that seems like he might be gone for awhile, if not the season (at least at 100%).

 

We have been BANGED UP this year.  Crazy how many injuries.  But to this point, we really haven't lost many guys for the entire season.  

 

The hope is A) we don't sustain too many more injuries, and B) the guys who are hurt mostly make it back by January, particularly Oliver & Brown.

It was malpractice keeping him in the game last night.

Thursday games are the coolest

I've actually have a torn labrum in my left shoulder. Had it since march and doing PT since then. Surgery isn't recommended, maybe because I'm over 50, but it is significant. 2-4 weeks maybe he can play, but he won't have the range of motion. And it will be mainly pain tolerance. I'm a golfer and used to be good (well, good enough). Lost 30 yards off my drives and went from a 7 handicap to a 14 just this year because of it. And I'm certainly not a professional athlete. He's done contributing in a helpful manner for at least two or three months - and that's with intense rehab and PRP injections. I had a pain shot and it helped a little, but not enough. Sorry to say he's probably washed until late in the playoffs - if we even make it that far. 

 

You are not a pro athlete...the treatment and surgical recommendations are far different between normal people and athletes.

 

Athletes routinely have surgery for things that normal people would just let heal on their own to get them back faster and/or strengthen the injured area to help prevent reoccurrence.

Could do worse than Van Demark or Grable based on the teams perceived confidence in Grable and RVD’s play, but it’s looking more and more like Josh Allen is heading into the playoffs like..

 

[Sierra Foothills]

If in some sort of strange, cosmic way, Brown being injured is the price we pay for keeping Bernard off the field, I'm good with it.

There can not be one second of hesitation with Bernard. Get him on the IR and end his season. He was already playing hurt and he’s killing us

Anyone got a list of other winning teams with as many IRs as starters we've had?

I take it you haven't been following the 49ers

Thank you for the knowledge.
Seems I see more of these occurring last few years ?

 Bad injury for the Player. How do players defend against that injury. Is it a technique issue ?

  

Wear and year of years of bench press and playing OL.  Just have your arm in a certain angle amd it goes.

 

After 25 years in the highland games, I was getting off the bed after playing with the dogs, there was a pop and crunch.

 

Had half of the supraspinatus anchored back on, biceps tendon moved as the long head of the biceps attaches to the labrum.  They moved it then fixed the labrum

Ouch. Too close to home.

It doesn’t seem that long ago when you heard IR, the guys season was finished.
