Any way we look at it, it's not good. MTK 09-17-2007, 10:59 PM All depends on the extent of the tear. We won't know until he has a MRI. BleedBurgundy 09-18-2007, 12:55 AM He didn't seem to be in a lot of pain on the sidelines, which at least could be positive. And it's not like we couldn't move the ball on the ground or pass protect after he was injured... jsarno 09-18-2007, 12:59 AM He didn't seem to be in a lot of pain on the sidelines, which at least could be positive.

I partially ripped mine, and had no clue other than when I went to use it hard. Of course, Thomas has to use it hard every play, but on the sidelines I doubt he felt much of anything.

When you lose two starting linemen and one of them is your first or second best linemen that is a major problem. I'm worried.

I'm just pointing out that our o line didn't fall apart, even with the right side filled in by backups. That's a good sign. Obviously we'd rather have the starters in there.
