No.  NFLN said he and Brown Jr. were both out, but Hill would play.

So OBJr was just described as having "tennis leg". I've never heard of it, but based on their quick description, I think I've been battling it for a few years (but I've never seen my doctor about it).

They've repeated it several times today on the radio: 54% chance for the playoffs with a win, 23% chance with a loss. Curious to see how they respond as a team.

I think both of those numbers seem pretty high?

If we win, they think we have a 54% chance to go 5-2 or better?
If we lose, they think we have a 23% chance to go 6-1 or better? 

Those are probably both better odds that I would have expected.

We’re going to have to win it on the ground: Run the ball when we have the ball and stop Derrick Henry when they have it. I honestly think this game will come down to which defense lasts the longest.

The injury report also says it is a fibula injury. Most likely an avulsion fracture from that muscle injury

Search me, just quoting what they said.  I'd state it as we're in decent shape if we win and likely roadkill if we don't.

Prime pregame really slurping on Lamar………

I’ve never been one to say Tee was holding out of playing but after a good few weeks of resting it he should have been able to go today.

Going in to our biggest game of the season massively hampered by injuries if we can somehow pull this out I’ll become a believer again.

You have no idea what his exact injury is

[bengalrick]

Tee would absolutely be playing if he could……..

Well it’s obviously a thigh strain anything else he would have already been on the IR.

Considering how he’s been called day to day since it happened it’s more than likely a mild one at that.

Like I said I’ve never once questioned his heart but in a must win game you’d have liked to have seen him push himself back.

This is what came up when I searched it.

Quote:Tennis leg, also known as a calf muscle strain, is a partial or complete tear of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. It's a common sports injury that occurs when the calf muscles are suddenly contracted or overstretched, such as during a sprint or a sudden change in direction.

They (NFLN) mentioned the back of the knee for him, which sort of matches my situation.  While I am no athlete, it flares up on me semi-regularly and I can actually feel a pocket of swelling below the back of the knee/top of the upper calf.  It doesn't hurt to touch, but movement hurts like hell for me, and I'm just doing everyday people things.  I would imagine it would hurt like hell for a lineman trying to push off, whether kick step for pass pro or launching forward to run block.

Does anyone have Amazon Prime on now? I can't hear the announcers but can hear the people in the stadium and the announcer.
