Never hear of her. 

Billing going down is rough. Clarke and Hunt have to be stepping it up...

He'll be fine. He probably just got a little Nick. Let him walk it out, keep him out of practice tomorrow and play some on Friday Night.

Sad to hear, but we definitely have depth at the position. It almost could work out if he did end up on IR for this year and came back next.

Incidentally, how long is Brandon Thompson out?

Could someone please tell me what the industrial yard is across the highway from the practice field along the river?  It looks like it might be a sand, gravel or coal loading facility.

Marcus Hardison is still here. Pat Sims is still here. We will have Hunt rotating in at DT on passing downs. The team will overcome. It sucks, and he is likely out for the season, but they have assembled a deep roster to manage situations like this.

Billings knee undergoing MRI tonight. Word is cautious optimism. Hope is cartilage tear at most.

Doesn't a trainer usually ride alongside a player with an obviously injured leg? Maybe him riding without a trainer is a good sign? (grasping at straws here, I am aware).

So if it is just a cartilage tear I wonder what amount of time he would be out? Anyone know?

Well Burfict's "minor cleanout" ended up costing him, what, a little over a year?
Eifert's "bone bruise" is looking like 8 months+.

So... probably career ending? Lol

rub some 'tussin on it

I'm reading 3 weeks to 3 months...

Depends how bad it is. Can be 3-4 weeks or 3-4 months. Depends the severity of it.

Kind of like the Dalton thumb injury.

The way this Medical staff dropped the ball with Eifert, I'm gonna bet he is gone for the season. Draft class is dropping like flies..... Except for Nick Vigil.....He is immortal.

Don't jinx it!

If it's a cartilage tear it can be anywhere from a week to 2 months. Dependson if it's repaired or removed.

I'm sure Giggles will give us the scoop tomorrow.

Are these guys not taping properly? The rash of pre-season injuries is becoming insane.
