Adam Schefter reporting that Broderick Jones had a setback to his neck injury.

He would be best if he retired imho. This injury and surgery is very serious. The surgery he had required vertebrae to be fused together, and depending on his condition could have lost the mobility to his neck. I guess it will be a wait and see but you have to wonder how dangerous it would be for him to continue his career and what could happen to him if he reinjured it again.

 

No they did not say that

 

If the Doctors did as you say, I think he will retire. This means of course the Steelers won't get any comp pick for Jones.

 

I think this boat left while you were still buying a hot dog on the dock

If he’s the best we have then play him but just sitting back and being satisfied with his mediocrity is a turkey dog not all beef

If they can improve at the position then do so

But playing him just because you didn’t try to improve is a bone head move

They didn’t hand the jets to Mason after 4 okie dokie games and they won’t/shouldn’t do so with cook

 

I think you and I have a different opinion on how bad a broken neck is

 

So the post about him having a setback was bull****

Who posted that

And I remember someone here trying to convince me Schefter was a reliable “insider”

 

Now you are babbling

It’s a as broken neck

Going well means he can walk and isn’t paralyzed

People with broken necks should not be playing football they should be talking to Ryan Shazier and counting their blessings

 

Now you are calling Schefter clickbait

Now I don’t believe what you told me about him being a reliable source

And don’t make me necropost you know I can do it

 

I would agree.


Spinal Fusion Surgery isn't something that can be toyed with. Omar Khan can play as much lip service as he wants. Within that same vein, I am no fan of Adam Schefter either.


As I said, Thursday will tell me a lot. Even if the choice isn't an OT on Thursday, should the Steelers nab one on Day 2, that will all but confirm it.

 

We had three guys who are essentially LT’s. We needed a RT anyway

 

Yeah the Trib was reporting 3 hours ago that nothing has changed with him as he participated in minimal. So he said he said type of deal.

 

Maybe since then he had a set back.

 

Peyton Manning and Asante Samuel Jr. had similar surgeries and they were able to continue to play.

 

Do their positions depend on leverage and a strong vertical base?

 

Yeah but OL is entirely different.

 

I thought Peyton's surgery was something different, as he was forced to leave the country and the NFL to have his surgery involving Stem-Cells. Payton had already had 4 failed neck surgeries, before going outside the US for Treatment.


AI.
In 2011, Peyton Manning underwent experimental stem cell therapy in Europe to treat a severe neck injury that threatened his career. Seeking treatment not then approved in the U.S., he used fat-derived stem cells to regenerate tissue. While initially questioned, Manning returned to play four successful seasons with the Denver.

Key Details on Manning's Treatment

• The Injury & Treatment: Following four failed neck surgeries in 19 months, Manning travelled to Europe for specialized stem cell treatments, a popular destination for American athletes at the time.

 

It was still some type of neck surgery maybe not the exact same as Jones.

 

i don't think mccarthy will mess with damaged tomlin mistakes. especially if they don't expect to give him a fifth year option anyway. we never should have spent that draft capital on jones. he was probably a second to third round talent that should have been brought along slowly behind a starter. i think they panic drafted him. i expect better drafting from this staff than from the last especially on the O-Line and at corner and hopefully every other position.

 

I'd say that Khan is showing consistent interest in tackles because Jones has been inconsistent. At no point in his career have we been able to say that this guy looks like the LT of the future.

Injured or healthy, it's unlikely the Steelers considered picking up his fifth year option. There's no way the team thinks of him as a building block the way they would Frazier, or even Fautanu or McCormick. The Steelers are checking out tackles regardless of the Jones injury update because OT is a premium position and Jones has not shown to be a worthy player.

 

I agree. Because the FO know so much more then us regarding Rodgers intentions of play in 2026 I think they will go for a tackle in the first round. If Arod comes back you guy a 40 something year old QB that can't take hits and if you go with Howard he would need to be protected if he is to have any chance of looking decent. Not saying Howard is the answer or even if he will have a chance.

 

I'll never forget that draft night when we traded up in the first round. I thought for sure Christian Gonzalez was going to be the choice and it was a gut punch when Jones was named as the pick.
