This has shades of “JJ Watt back injury” written all over it. If he doesn’t take care of himself he will come back less of a player.

[–] 77Gumption77@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's frustrating that Denver injured so many of our players.

[–] Scaramussa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I cant understand why tell everyone about a weakness so opponent can exploit that

[–] dat_waffle_boi@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He’s a tough motherfucker. That’s crazy. If I had structural damage to my shoulder my ass would be on bed rest

[–] Thicbiscuit_datgravy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oof. I'm sure he does not see it this way, but I hope he doesn't risk his career on what's likely a lost season

[–] palabear@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Does not have structural damage…yet

[–] labradorrehab@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I admire the grit to want to keep playing, but I really wish he'd reconsider that decision if the shoulder injury is serious. I get that we're 7-4 and I think it's fairly likely we make the wildcard, but realistically this team is not going anywhere in the playoffs with our offense.

Deuces big guy

[–] Vinlandism@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Just sit out for the season buddy its not like the browns acutally do anything even if you play😂

[–] Newpower608@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

What is it with Cleveland and allowing their best players to try and play through shoulder injuries?

[–] TaskMaster4@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is Mary Kay Cabot, take anything her or Tony Grossi say with the biggest grain of salt you can imagine. This is essentially zero information.

[–] Hog_and_a_Half@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Flashback to 3 weeks ago when this sub wanted Watson’s head on a pike for not playing through a debilitating shoulder injury

[–] Phunwithscissors@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You mean Ohio?

[–] thepriceisonthecan@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

TBH his get off is so fast that even with a seriously limited shoulder hell still cause a ton of pressure. Might not get as many sacks since without the strength lineman can slow him down better when he beats them but he can still play well enough to keep the defense elite.

[–] noshingsomepods@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He is 28 and under contract for 3 more years. He's in his prime and playing at a damn near MVP level. Your Quarterbacking play is ass and your best offensive weapon has been on IR for most of the season.

Why the hell would you let Garrett keep playing and possibly ruin that shoulder worse?

[–] cavaleir@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

There's no actual evidence that there's structural damage, this is pure speculation. MRIs were taken and doctors agreed that there was no structural damage.

[–] Heavy_Drinker@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You're obviously not from Cleveland.

[–] oraclestats@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I know you want to set an example as a captain, especially after the Deshaun Watson injury, but learn from Baker. No org, especially this org, is worth sacrificing yourself for.

[–] Daviroth@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is baseless speculation, MKC is just shit.

[–] GenericLoneWolf@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Unless she's reporting about Baker for ownership. Then she's well connected and trustworthy. No possible bias there.

[–] riot_teerX@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Injuries have really derailed this season. Without all these key injuries I think we could have made a serious playoff run. One of those "what could have been" years.

[–] redngold21@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This seems like a horrible idea if he can cause further damage or push recovery into next year. The Brown's ship is sinking this year sometimes the staff needs to protect players from themselves.

[–] issue9mm@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Hard to call it sinking at 7-4, especially with an extremely winnable schedule.

Rams, Jags, Bears, Texans, Jets, Bengals are their remaining schedule, and even with DTR (or worse) you probably figure 3 of those are wins at a minimum. Considering the Ravens have a MUCH more difficult remaining slate, the state of the Burrow-less Bengals, you're basically in a race with Pittsburgh for a wildcard slot, and division title is still not mathematically ruled out

[–] yung_ag38@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They said yeah he might be hurt but try telling him that

[–] Stellers90@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Just sit him and let him heal. You already lost your star running back and starting QB…why risk a career ending injury to Myles

[–] Soren_Camus1905@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Don't mortgage your career bro

[–] Vinylforvampires@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But can he still swing a helmet?

[–] SleestakLightning@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think he's ambidextrous when it comes to helmet swinging so he should be ok.

[–] FreddyDontCare@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

yeah no shit. Couldn't lift arm, in a sling. Will limit range of motion and strength but he can play through it.

[–] PumpkinSeed776@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Accidentally read this as "Myles Garrett actually likes to have structural damage in his left shoulder"

[–] quietreasoning@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Make yet another lost season even worse.

[–] oatmeal-claypole@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

"actually likely"

[–] TetrisTech@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

“I’m gonna get that fucking DPOY I swear to god”

Myles Garrett, probably

[–] Leiatte@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Don’t you let him play Cleveland

[–] IMMARUNNER@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So Myles hurt the same shoulder he hurt in his car accident last year. Ever since that accident last year he has been playing with it taped up. He probably had structural damage in that car accident and elected not to have surgery in the off season. The report that the MRI showed no structural damage likely was stretching the truth a bit and meant no new structural damage was found. This article is also guessing that he has structural damage much like I am guessing he has structural damage from his car accident and this is nothing new. The article is click bait

[–] HamstersAreReal@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That doesn't sound smart.

[–] PackReasonable2577@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

MKC said this AFTER the imaging showed nothing and is just speculating.

[–] lutsius-memes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Guys its MKC, its just pure speculation

[–] Naanderson2022@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

that doesn't sound smart, jim
