Ben's sprained ankle (Tomlin downplays it)

Nice avatar jj.

 

Two Questions (both rhetorical)

1) Why does Tomlin say with Sarcasm "you guys love the ben updates?" - Ummmm yeah, he just our constantly injury plagued 100 million dollar franchise QB. Does he think 5 lb. of ice on a favored ankle isn't interesting or news worthy? Sheesh....

2) Did Ben get his ankle worked on or just let it heal by nature in the off season? He's just our constantly injury plagued 100 million dollar franchise QB. I mean we only learned that he had a shoulder tear from last season and he NOTHING about it and only revealed it now. But, at least he worked on concentration efforts while playing golf in Scotland.

He we go guys, you know who you are, tell me I'm being hyper critical and overly judgmental of poor little bone headed Ben. Come on, he needs your support.

Just to be sure that you understand I am a equal opportunity criticizer, I think people with certain injury tendencies should have wraps or supports as a preventative measure during practices. Ankles, knees especially. That's on the trainers and coaches. If they get hurt after precautions are taken then that's the game....

 

Thanks!

 

Regular season is over a month away and it's apparently a standard sprained ankle as opposed to a high ankle sprain. Concentration efforts and focus don't mean anything when a lineman steps on your ankle. It happens and Ben will be fine.

 

he'll spit on it and be right back. for Godsake it's ben. he's as tough a qb as there's ever been. sometimes to a fault.

 

Maybe I'm a sky if falling type, but I'm not so cavalier as to not be concerned in one week into camp.

 

Apparently Ben wasn't able to practice today.

 

2-5 weeks ankle to brain sprain!

 

No matter what it is ironic to think that we went all out to get Ben some protection and they are the ones that actually hurt him. I hope this doesn't happen in the regular season though. I'd be lying if I said it didn't concern me. Even if it is nothing I still would like for him to be as absolutlely healthy as he can possibly be.

 

No kidding. The guy has played with a broke foot/ankle/toe something for what, the last 2 seasons? Get out the duct tape and over sized shoe and get his ass back in there.

All jokes aside, I m know I m not the only one concerned if he really gets hurt.
