Just because it isn't doesn't really give you a reason to be pompous about it, but whatever. Edited October 29, 2019 by kball09 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Complicated as in "broke" or "not broke"? Trainer felt his shoulder, asked James some questions, made a wary face and mouthed the word clavicle twice. Not like people went out and dropped Conner, they just saw that as a bad sign. If the Xray came up positive I'm assuming you would have kept your mouth shut. So congrats I guess? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently the trainer needs a new job if some quack Twitter doctor can read an injury via television better than a guy on the field with the player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, they need one of those trainers that has X-ray vision and can see if a bone has been cracked. Good call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a sprain and Conner will likely not practice until Thursday at the earliest and may miss a game.

Colour me surprised. We didn't exactly get word today that he's fine and suiting up this weekend. As a matter of fact I don't believe we've gotten any definitive answers. The absence of news =/= he's fine. He could still easily miss time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mulhollandvelvet 997 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I don't even think the results are back, are they? Thinking he will be reading for this week is a huge stretch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure they knew last night if anything was broken. We'd know today if it were something major like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nmartinez12443 561 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 AC Joint injury is not that serious he will miss a game max IMO. Samuels will most likely be a one week rental. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KenboSlice925 36 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Everyone freaking out over a mouthing of the word "clavicle". What if the trainer said something along the lines of "no broken clavicle"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He has yet to be a true game-time decision as the tea leaves have always pointed to him playing, but Tomlin has never exactly promised he'll play after any of his previous games. I do agree with the idea that if it were something serious, including a 2-3 week absence, we'd know about it by now. Edited October 29, 2019 by eg4190 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could be thinking of someone else. Either way, your first comment is possibly the larger concern here. I mean realistically what are the odds he plays every game ROS? I think you'd have to say fairly slim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Under500Forever 739 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Conner shouldn’t have even been on the field when they were up 13 with 2:45 left in the game. When I saw him out there I was like why the hell is he in the game and then boom, he’s hurt. Conner has been dealing with little injuries here and there so I thought they should have been a little more cautious when Edmunds could have carried the rock. I’ve read that AC joint injuries are more of a pain tolerance issue. Depending on the severity he may beable to play through it. The downside is he could take a hit in the first quarter if he plays next week and be out the rest of the game. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

atdharris 288 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 1 minute ago, BGDDYKWL said: Chao was wrong about Kerryon. This looked like your classic broken clavicle. And the team doc literally said the word. AND we still have no idea how long he'll be out. Chao said he'd miss no time, I said I think he will. So maybe wait til I'm wrong before you start being a pompous idiot. Does the absence of news automatically equate to good news? Fairly simple question. A 4-year old could get it right, we'll see how you fare. If he broke his clavicle, there would be news he broke his clavicle. It doesn't take 24 hours to read an x-ray, and Tomlin would not go in front of the media and call it an AC joint sprain if they did not have x-ray results. Just because someone said "clavicle" on the sideline right after the injury happened doesn't mean it is a broken clavicle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think him not having a broken clavicle is a reasonable assumption at this point. My contention was simply with Chao's estimate that Conner would miss no time. We have an extremely injury prone player on a short week. I think it's safe to say he's unstartable this week, and for fantasy, that's all we really care about.
