Skins-Jags Positives and Negatives

Any word if the MRI showed torn major ligaments?
That is much worse than fracture.

yeah, thats the first hurddle. MRI is next on the ligaments.

Wouldn't they do x-rays at the stadium? Don't need an MRI to tell you if there are fractures. The MRI is to look at the soft tissue.

Im much more concerned at the present moment with DJax and the others that were injured. Should have Reed back soon rite? Also BM coming back. Without getting into Griff vs Kirk - I will just say that rite now I am comfortable with Kirk being our QB. Very comfortable.

Meriweather back should really help. Rambo's had a big hand in both of the TD's the defense has allowed.

I believe swelling immediately following injury makes in-stadium XRay and other tests not really useful.

But this is far from something I'm knowledgeable about. :)

If an MRI has not been done yet, then I wonder why "Chris Russel, among others, reporting Griffin has no fracture, does not need surgery."
If the major ligament in the ankle is torn and he expects to play football again he needs surgery. Otherwise his ankle will be so weak he will be twisting his ankle all the time and he risks more severe injury.

Right now I picture Mike Shanahan something like this...

Maybe, but swelling is often worse the next day. Although I'm sure he's been icing the crap out if it. Who knows. I was just kinda wondering out loud.

1 game at a time, lets see who is healthy for Philly, lot of other injuries besides RG3.

I think some are jumping the gun a bit. No surgery needed for a fracture, but that's only half the story.

One thing I noticed was that 2 or 3 times, Roberts fielded a punt with a defender a bit too close. It never cost him a turnover, this time. I like playmakers, but when got a lead you got to play smart and not take dumb risks. Sometimes it is okay just to take the fair catch.

And all 10 points the defense allowed was because of two plays where the safeties blew the coverage. I don't know if they were going for the INT or what, but when you got a lead and you are the last line of defense you just can't be in front of the receiver.
